A Photograph Remaining I saw you standing A silhouette of silvered wax Silent in the window watching Mournful eyes of gray dew A photograph of black and winter hues What draws you to this light? Is there comfort in these silver tendrils? Like a blanket from a dusty gray attic Warm as the wax in a mournful candle A gray photograph on your window mantle The waning moon is not yet gone I know you wait as the shadows lengthen Your silhouette hardly a feathers weight leaning And you remain hidden until this gray returning And in my heart I watch a photograph remaining James Parker Haley ©2007 September (ARH thanks for the inspiration from your poem and the Picture in your post "My Friend the Moon" /pip/Forum104/HTML/000997.html) |

What a wonderful visual, Parker ... so good to read you again! You've painted this silouette in my mind as surely as if I saw it with my own eyes. Really well done. Much enjoyed!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Thank you all for the replies. Its strange what you don't see in a picture the first time you look at it. I wonder if I would have written differently had I seen the second image that my mind ignore the first time. Parker |

Oh I get it! great job, seeing two things at one time, sometimes poems , if read twice could have more meaning, or another meaning. |
