mostly i am firmly grounded where i stand
here in the present
looking ahead into the open field
not conscious of whats behind me
of all i have passed through
of all that has passed through me
photographs
still capsules of time
frozen life
remind me of chapters lost
gone forever
never to return
bittersweet
snapshots of moments on this ever moving journey
as the river of time carries us along
bringing some but not all along with us
acceptance is my only sanity
attachment tainted with the inevitability of loss
cries out from the images
a time once full of hope
lost now
out of death springs new life
but the scar of what once was will always remain
awoken by the photos
