       A MomentI take an old woman a glass of waterShe has few pleasures left in life.It's cold and sharpHill spring it says on the bottle.She cups the tumbler as a chaliceAnd sips from a mountain springAs a child she'd drunk in streams.She smiles at the genie insideAnd offers me a taste: it's sweet.I hand it back and we make a toastFingers touching around the glassCareful not to spill one drop of magic.--Beda Higgins#VerseThursday #TodaysPoem #poetry @bookstodon (Art credit: Thelma Winter)
