Captured moments snapped
Preserved, all the world to see
Polaroid magic
Oh how embarrassing!
S'pose I can disappear these?


Prisoners of time
Dressed both in paper and ink
Tokens of the past
To help jog our memory
Evidence, it so happened.


Erie smiles grin
As ghosts of a distant past
Times predating us
To help us feel attachment
And to fill out the picture.

David; Can't wait to see those vacation pictures and I bet there better than you describe. I hope I'm being sent some samples?
Great job here, Bro

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.
