Macquarie Rivulet artist impression

Once Upon a Time
alone in the cold
I feel time stalking
So I pour faster
and say to you

“ Be my dead love above in starry cold,
dimming as pale light crowds our home.
Raise your sights to my eyes once more.
Hold my breath against a cold night chill.
Feel, from the edge, the shadows shiver,
the ice cracks spread and my heart shatter. "

I hear you say, “You pour too fast; slow down. "

In reply you hear me whisper thin,
“I sing of Artemis, the cold-hearted archer.
I am Mistress of unplanned deaths and wild rainbows,
of commensal cats and lunar cycles. "

This platform has been great for photographers and writers. Waterfalls from this Collection were used in a couple of novels, including Twilight of the Gods (P Quinton & CR Bravo, Amazon). This drawing by CR Bravo (copyright 2017) was based on a waterfall a little upstream from Rainbow Falls on Macquarie Rivulet.
