Photography

Photos; they capture memories,

moments, too, that you cherish,

keeping them preserved forever.

A fond moment stuck in time?

Now stuck in colorful ink on paper.

A memory you’ll soon forget?

Months, years, decades later,

It’s still there, reminding you of —

a fond memory that’s one of many —

that you’ve slowly forgotten. 

A sunset so beautiful, that’s unlike any other?

In a photo, its beauty is preserved, 

in a portrait, painted by the light. 

Photos; they remind you of the good,

and sometimes, the forgotten.
