a moment from the past
enshrined in the present;
an ode to the future.
a pose, as if a still photograph that ignites…
and emerges as a light in my heart.
Her,
with a smile—
a look that stays etched, enshrined perhaps
within me.
captured by a glance.
elusive, etched, enshrined,
left permanent by happenstance.
stay,
this moment of mine.
remain a postcard on a wall
to be stared upon
when life takes the longer road
or diverts
or drifts away from comfort…
and suddenly
i’m reminded that all is well,
and all will remain well.

a moment from the past
enshrined in the present;
an ode to the future.
a pose, as if a still photograph that ignites…
and emerges as a light in my heart.
Her,
with a smile—
a look that stays etched, enshrined perhaps
within me.
captured by a glance.
elusive, etched, enshrined,
left permanent by happenstance.
stay,
this moment of mine.
remain a postcard on a wall
to be stared upon
when life takes the longer road
or diverts
or drifts away from comfort…
and suddenly
i’m reminded that all is well,
and all will remain well.
ily auds.
