Photographs

Photographs

By R.e. Taylor

Memories of long ago

Hidden in the attic

With feeling no one wanted to bestow

Some are plain, some are cryptic

They are all taken through the ages

Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers

Even a few who we knew as sages

But, all we see were always our elders

Photographs of paper, film as glass

They are carefully stored inside tissue

Stacked gently to rest amass

Each picture bought back feelings anew

I will go through them one by one

Placing each in its own frame

And only once I am all done

Will their true beauty will they claim
