The well she beckons…
and those held to the land must heed
for her call roots in our depths;
speaks to that which is old
to that which we vowed so long ago.
The well she beckons and we must follow... for we are hers as she is divine. ©2007
Take my hand and come with me…to lands of green pastures and
gurgling streams, to hallowed grounds where ancient stones stand
firm, where faeries and druids walk abound. Come, take my hand and
journey with me…into the chambers of the heart where love lost and
found has left their mark. Take my hand and come with me...

"With poetic voice, sentiments are released and shared, moments of life relived and relayed and tidbits of time examined and explored. The first section of the collection is perfectly pagan; poetry trickles as a stream through primeval forest. Magic is woven through settings of old, leaving the reader wishing for simpler moments and for the feel of wildly rough tree bark under the tips of fingers. Another portion of the book examines the touchstones of life. Subjects here vary greatly but each offers raw emotion and a bare naked glimpse at the author’s soul. In the last section, looking at love and loss, the mirror is held up to show days of unbridled joy and times deep within the well of despair.
Poets open their souls to the reader of their words; Avelli does so seemingly without hesitation. Reaching out to the free spirit in all of us, stroking the heart strings, Avelli shares her gift through rhythmic lines of verse. The accompanying illustrations add to the magical feel of the book, lending an ancient quality perfectly fitted to the text.
In pure delight, I highly recommend From the Well."
