Out Making Anticlines

kodak moments

turn them one by one
cards in the deck
of someone else’s joy
each one a view
the same but slightly
subtly changed
scenes through
windows
along the path
outside

the faces
smiles
eyes say so much
and see the changes
frame to frame
but always seen
from just outside
the in

the best is
a picture of a feeling
of something you
could not share
might have shared
were once
until

it winnowed
into pictures
a deck
to riffle slowly
all windowed in
frame by frame
smile
try
for it is love to find
somehow
a happiness
looking in this way
from out

pull it in carefully
oh carefully
bring in the lace map
of wistfulness
now

and follow

Sometimes the view of another's joy is seen through a mist... from being outside the in and knowing such joy only second hand.

Your words directed my thoughts to several paths... all poignant...

I don't know... and yet... I do.

Excellent write!
