Sunrise on Maple Creek A candle has been lit in the horizon and now Maple Creek is on fire in its darkling waters darting eyes circle the rock looking for jewels as cascading sparks hit the dust of sleep and bedeck the air to scarlet The sky that was in silence waiting opens with sound across the trees and in the marsh grass one eye closed the frog is silent watching Inside the room her eyes dream drenched she sees the creeping of light beneath the door that slowly steels across the room to touch the crystal in the window with a rainbow of emergence and she stalls her shivering within the waiting arms of wool to tip toe across the porch and heave the weight of sleep into the fragrant air Barefoot into the damp she goes clutching the collector for to make a memory so sweet click within the camera’s eye is all that’s needed. A candle has been lit in the horizon and now Maple Creek is on fire. |

A very lovely picture you have painted. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Great job, Martie. I truely admire how you are able to paint such beautiful pictures with a handful of words. I really like it that you stray away from using rhyme in most of your work- especially in this one. Great work! -Andrew Trust too much, and you may be deceived, but trust too little and you will live in torment forever. |
