Magdalena
POSTED IN contemporary poetry May 2, 2013
MagdalenaShe brings all her talents to life’s path
mindful, shares with other souls she meets.
Like a lily who needs no adornmentthe beauty of words alight on sensitive
lips, her dark eyes scan a literary landscape.
An erudite scholar in the digital worldshe travels the planet, harvests beauty
in many different tongues, hungrily absorbs
other cultures. Her acute perceptionfree as a bird, she roams our globe, looks
for new tapers of inspiration to feed a flame
that burns deep in her linguistic soul.She enters the garden of each poet’s heart
finds truth in words to bridge a lexicon fence,
gifts poetry with new and exotic pearls.Unselfishly, she graces the literary scene.
May she discover many facets of her own beauty
in the secret garden of her translations.

Wow, what a beautiful poem, about a beautiful person. It is so nice to read a poem from Gael here. It is like meeting old, beloved friends, even though we have known each other for such a short time.
Gael, you put it beautifully. She is like a unicorn, too rare, magical and gifted. I still can’t believe there are people like Magdalena left in this world.
Amanda and Cathy, thank you, the inspiration was more than helpful 🙂
I had the urge to read Magdalena again, lol took me ages to find it !
