Photographs

A photograph—
A captured moment in time
Forever trapped…
Held in frozen animation.

They capture our joy,
Sorrow,
Pain,
Ecstasy.

Transporting us back,
They remind us where we’ve been.
What we’ve done.
With whom we’ve shared our lives.

Sentiments surround snapshots.
Some good.
Some painful.
Some calming.

Faces that stare out at us
From those photographs can seem ethereal.
Locales can appear heavenly.
Artistic pieces can take our breath away.

Some theorize that photographs
Steal snippets
Of a person’s soul.
I disagree.

To me, snapshots are a reflection
Of our past,
A glimpse into our future
And reminders….
