at the San Vicente Botanical Garden

I dug for water
and looked up above,
clouds I found none
but heard a voice instead,
“Deeper”.

So I dug and dug,
without let up,
but to no avail.

This time I looked up to Heaven,
to ask, “How much deeper?”
And the voice came again.
“Until you see the sun, my son.”

I dug and dug and dug,
and a spring I soon struck,
reflected the sun above.~
