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
