Snapshots:

Snapshots linger; negatives inundate my mind.

Surreal are the oblique images sliding softly through time.

Memories like spirits, frozen in split seconds and never moving.

Smiling faces from a long ago forever locked in a kodachrome cast.

Snapshots now linger on the yellowing pages of my past.

Very vivid description of what we often take so for granted especially in this digital age of progress.

Oh I can surely relate as I have many photographs of smiling faces of those who are no longer with us and sometimes those photographs come tear stained....

Be always safe,

Allen,
The pictures, through memories in our minds, always last even when the still photos become yellowed, faded, lost or forgotten.

Beautiful writing and I think I may have to pull my Paul Simon CD and listen to "Kodachrome" now. Thanks.

Allen,

This is beautifully imaged in verse - you paint the scenes of our own memory on our eyes. Thank you, and well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Allen, it's amazing how the mind has a visual photo of moments caught in time & they live within for as long as we are capable of capturing them. This is truly a wonderful writing...I enjoyed it much!
