Looking Glass

A photo stands in nature’s way Like a magic looking glass it Seals the moment sunset cast Forever one golden streak across The sky dipping it’s blazing tongue Into the sloshing sea below A majestic moment embossed Upon the mind never to change Seemingly and yet each time I look at it I see that advancing tide I feel that Evening chill and I hear your voice Beside me speaking softly with awe And wonder Each time I rake that photo with my eye I see another world and sometimes more New conversations happen on that shore And ever changing motions in that sky A photo stands in nature’s way Like magic in a looking glass

Very insightful, David. We see many different things each time we look at old photos -- that's why we keep going back to view them again. The memories the evoke are treasures. Awesome poem! I need to get my old photo album out now. Love, Carolyn
