(audio) PC 70: Water From the Well

The 70th Panther Cycles is called "The City of Legends"...this is one of the nearly six hundred and fifty poems to be found in my latest book THE COMPLEAT PANTHER CYCLES.

For information on the book, go to The Compleat Panther Cycles Page. Here's the text of the poem:

water from the well

the water from the well
tastes sweet
and cold.
and old
wives' tales
tell me that there
is magic in every sip.
would that I could
take a drip
and bottle it to sell
to the shaman
in the canyon.
to make a charm
of sand dragon skins,
with which to bring
your love back to life
while I yet endure.
