Photograph |
I found this photograph, |
Underneath the broken picture glass |
Tender face of black and white, |
Beautiful, a haunting sight |
Looked into an angel’s smile, |
Captivated all the while |
From the hair and clothes she wore, |
I’d place her in between the wars |
Was she willing when she sat |
And posed the pretty photograph? |
Save her flowering and fair, |
The days to come, the days to share |
A big smile for the camera, |
How did she know? |
The moment could be lost forever |
Forever more |
I found this photograph, |
Stashed between the old joist walls, |
In a place where time is lost, |
Lost behind, where all things fall |
Broken books and calendars, |
Letters script in careful hand, |
Music too, a standard tune by Some forgotten big brass band |
From the threshhold what’s to see |
Of our brave new century? |
The television’s just a dream, |
The radio, the silver screen |
A big smile for the camera, |
How did she know? |
The moment could be lost forever |
Forever more |
Was her childhood filled with rhymes, |
Stolen hooks, impassioned crimes? |
Was she innocent or blind |
To the cruelty of her time? |
Was she fearful in her day, |
Was she hopeful, did she pray? |
Were there skeletons inside, |
Family secrets, sworn to hide? |
Did she feel the beat that stirs, |
The fall from grace of wayward girls? |
Was she tempted to pretend, |
The love and laughter, 'til the end? |
