No dry well,
this deepest of wells,
but it was many years
of what seemed like drought

And there it waited,
a heart waiting to be loved,
willing to love in return,
when I heard its call

It was no easy stairway,
but I found that heart,
gave it light and love,
found that it could love in return

Day Thirty (Take Two) of 2016 NaPoWriMo.
The prompt for today from The Daily Post on WordPress is stairway.
The stairs pictured are in the Thirty Mile Point Lighthouse on Lake Ontario, at Somerset, New York.
