Relief..
No longer counting drops,
A slow stream finally arrives,
Shimmering with reflections of a
thousand mile journey.
Reflections of questions
to answers bobbing in the
slower stream of time.
Reflections of an unknown
that had been expected,
Shifting to neutral..
resting on water..
following the current.
Thin and weak,
finally flowing,
for now confined to
soft echoes in a deep well.
