Snapshots

           

    Snapshots 

    moments captured in black and white 

    

    Memories in still life 

    instances frozen back in time 

                      *********

    An old and faded photograph lost

    and found in a drawer today

    

    Aged photo paper carries me

    back along the way

 

    Memories playback in living color 

    whisking me back to fonder days

 

    Through a teardrop forms an image 

    reality starts to fade 

 

    A memory begins to sharpen

    I slowly drift away

                      ***********

    Cruising up and down Main street 

    driving to a favorite parking spot 

    

    There's kissing in the backseat 

    up front , us boys are smoking pot

 

    Meeting up on Friday night

    partying at our favorite woodsy spot

    We fell in love . We sang and danced

    occasionally we fought

                        *********

    The love we found , the friends we made

    we knew would last forever

    Through time they start to fade

    brought back to life

    by a photo old and yellowed
