pre-text: i was clearing through photos one day, and some of them brought on good memories. in fact, all of them did. but they were only in those moments. reality captured then and the one that we are experiencing at the moment may not always coincide.
muse: pictures of friends and family
thrashed in some box or
hidden in some obscurity
photos lie patiently
to be picked up and given attention
tears may drop
fingers rubbing hard against the colored paper
as if hoping for magic to happen
to bring life to memory
smiles captured living in the moment
relationships once before now broken
places changed like people
friends grew up and apart
childhood pets dead and living now in heaven
feelings fizzled
photos: physical embodiment of memories
embrace the time gone by
with a smile, be it nostalgic
and still
a tear may drop.
