lines, color, and shape, Make up a soft picture, A vivid memory. As I walk closer, It seems further away. I run to try to catch it, But it opens its wings and flies away. I try to hide and pounce on it, The memory just fades away. As I touch the photograph, It disappears into the dark leaving me lost, Without a memory. finally without a sound, The memory appeared. seeing only blur figures, In the photograph. I wonder if I, Did not capture the right moment, of the life of a love one. That I hold so dear, scarred from the pain. I realize the faded photograph, Is the memory I took. Not focusing on the true, Beauty of their life. I captured only, her pain and death. A faded photograph, What a waste of film

Faded Photograph
