Prompt 73: Inner Voice


Christine of Quiet Paths shares this section of the Pablo Neruda poem "Ode to a Waterfall" to acccompany this week's prompt, inner voice. Thanks, Christine! And thanks for the beautiful photo above.

What I have given you,
will never be a burden,
because
what I gave you
was always yours,
the flower or the wood,
the word or walls,
food of fleeting
love, resting or burning
in our hands.
But all
I gave you,
all I give you,
all I extend to you,
will contain this secret
voice
of
water.

MR. LINKY may be repaired at any moment.
Please be patient.
They are working with me to fix this newest problem.
