Water trickles off fingertips
in a flow that never falters,
so we dip our hand in
a soothing pool.
Refreshed, we visit every day
and sip it, clear and cool.
The deep source wells,
offers more.
The foundations shudder,
rocks shift, resettle.
The pure waters flow
elsewhere,
leaving us a little
drier.
Tribute to Magdalena

Beautiful tribute for Magdalena, she's gone but not forgotten, leaving us just a little thirsty, remembering the taste of her words.

well done

Yes, my updates, reading list and keyboard are a little drier. I miss her unwavering support and seductive words.
The poem made me think of hanging by a pool in the summer sun, dousing warm skin in the cool refreshing water... those last stanzas had quite an impact.
Fantastic tribute to Magdalena. All the best in the comp.

Keyboard?? TMI...
:P
Thanks, Case, man. I don't care about the comp, just hope Magdalena sees our words and knows she's missed.

Atakti,
When I had read your poem I felt the water being a metaphor to a well hidden deep which clarifies and captures things, a womb and a soothing stream
I guess when I think about it, it suits to Magdalenas work, great tribute!
