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 |
