Writing With Light

Boxes of photographs in the closet As life goes on, it piles up in our mindset Hoping to catch every bit of the good times You’ve been there, and again you live within its confines Aging as it appears, but fresh memories linger on Every picture tells a story; the evocative sensation will come upon Rain and shine, the time elapsed unwittingly Funny stories would spring up, and we laughed uncontrollably For tintypes of pictures, a tracing of who they were Some had writings on the back with dates and dedication preferred A timely choice to look at your first birthday attire With friends and relatives gathered around in a choir Old photos from graduation and prom Be amazed by how friends’ images have transformed Capture a moment and freeze it in time forever Only memories will remind as a quick refresher Pose a picture with loved ones for time will steal them tomorrow Old familiar places and happenings that you would still know Each frame becomes precious possession of one’s life Turn the album’s page and read each moment’s writing with light July 18, 2015
