Sunrise on Maple Creek
(repost for Adrienne and her camera)

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.

To decorate this aging
is no longer possible, but the wind
knows, just moaning in the afternoon
changes the listener.

good grief...what little muse I have just ran out the door crying uncle!!
you blow me away my dear

When your own emptiness is all thats getting through
there comes a point when youre not sure why youre still talking...
I passed that point long ago

Every time I read you, I slow down, and breath again. I think I've said it before, but it bears repeating...
