Premiere Contest WinnerRemembered

I remember
the tiny miracles
skimming the surface
of the creek

The smell of cool, dank earth,
seeping through
the rotting leaves

There on the bank,
are collected hours
of childhood

Connected only to their own world-
a place unaffected
by the worries of time and maturity

An unmarked sanctuary
kept living
for the one that's buried there
