The Photo
How many words can one illicit?
Ten? A hundred? A thousand?
So many emotions captured.
Love, laughter, silliness, sadness.
A snapshot in time, seized forever.
Beautiful landscapes and squallid poverty
both captured equally.
A forgotten memory immediately back into view
or that insane hairdo from your teens.
A picture does not lie
to us or them.
It can convey a single second of life
or an immense journey
that takes a lifetime to complete.
