Like Magic

characteristic of
none & yet
everything that is
…my muse

touches my soul
with introspective
desire like
casting spells
like magic

each word trickles
than flows like
ink drop pearls
to my pen

capturing the
essence of time
no longer
a floating tide of
black in an
inkwell

Inkwell Legacy

Reminiscent of a
time when inkwells
held secrets of
auspicious authors

when they dipped
their quills
inside and with
a flourish of
script containing

dots and crosses
left their legacy
to span time
connecting their
hearts and souls to
ours

Inkwell

An inkwell is a small jar or container, often made of glass, porcelain, silver, brass, or pewter, used for holding ink in a place convenient for the person who is writing. The artist or writer dips the brush, quill, or dip pen into the inkwell as needed or uses the inkwell as the source for filling the reservoir of a fountain pen
