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? |
