Snapshots

Photographs give moments;
Snapshots of time to flash and blind
and gag the real feelings, that kindly
evoke a time that's momentarily over -
And wind the camera on...

A method of resurrection;
Capturing the image outside the mind's eye:
Perhaps the truth hides when perusers try
to light the cold embers to perfection -
Don't point it at the sun...

Ruefully share the squares;
The glossy slides that slip aside;
The pain of having tried to lie
around this deceiving lens that stares -
And Click! to catch our *fun*.
