SEPIA SEA

SEPIA SEA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ in sepia waves, echoes of laughter linger time’s tide pulls me back faded photographs, memories in sepia sea love captured in light

This is wonderfully nostalgic and vivid! I love how you use “sepia” to create that warm, timeless feeling—like diving into old memories that still shimmer with emotion. The imagery is simple but so effective, making me feel both wistful and comforted.

Endearing photograph -- wonderful to have pictures to remind us. One of the best inventions.
