Framework
Picture this…
Born 1959
Living 50 years
Not remembering half
Picture this…
Looking at old photos
Living 50 years
Not remembering half
Picture this…
Pictures of others
Where are you?
Not being in more than half
Picturing pictures
Of my youth
Searching for the key
Not remembering, where to look?
Found the books
Pictures seen
Frame by frame I glance
Out of focus they all seem
Present doesn’t connect to past
Lines have all but eroded
Discolored images, torn edges
Inability to renew
Those are just pictures
Lingering in my mind
Connection is not lost
Time needed to mend
Lines may have faded
Images slightly darkened
Renew the pictures in my mind
Jesus Christ, come shine on me
