***From the 'Wishing Well' prompt of UndiscoveredBooks

I tossed a coin into the well,

And wished,

I wish,

I wish.

I heard it fall into the water,

With a small splash.

A splish,

A splash

And I could almost see it sink into the depths,

Down,

Down,

Down.

Small bubbles rising in its wake,

Rising,

Rising.

I sat beside the well and wished,

All my troubles away,

And begged for them to stay,

The ones who always leave.

I wished for a pen,

That would make worlds from my words.

Worlds I could escape to,

Where I'd have friends.

Friends who stay.

Stay,

Stay.

I sat beside the well and wished.

And into my hand it flew,

Straight from the water,

A fountain pen,

With ink of sepia colour,

One to make my written words come true.
