The Photograph

A scientific accomplishment

Of colour and beauty and awe

Life standing still

In the frames of paper and wood

It captures all

Beauty and wonder

Emotions etched on faces

As a portrait

Like your reflection in a pond

Cut out and placed before you

You see and you know

Everything

Through paper

I go back in time

I see the reasons

The whys

I remember the details

The cries

And all i can do is sigh

If happy,to my chest i keep

If sad,in my drawer i leave

And take another photograph

Of my wish for tomorrow
