Photographs-Reliving Moments from the Past
Nithya Venkat enjoys writing about nature and different aspects of life in the form of poetic verses.
Photographs - Relive Moments from the Past
Brenda Arledge has given the word prompt "Photographs" in "Word Prompts Help Creativity Week-33".
Brenda, a dear friend, and a wonderful poet, shares word prompts every week, inspiring us writers to put pen to paper and start writing our thoughts in the form of a poem, short story, or song. The only requirement is to relax and have fun writing.
Thank you, Brenda, for inspiring me to write.
This poem is in response to the word prompt "Photographs." I am late in responding to this prompt; better late than never.
Reliving precious moments from the past through photographs is a wonderful experience.
Photographs-Reliving Moments from the Past
Captured moments hanging on the wall
They smile through moments from the past
Seemingly they know I truly need and want
To relive happy moments and long for them to last
Alas, happy moments are but fleeting.
In mere seconds they vanish with a flare
As life goes on, my heartbeats keep depleting
Life's seconds lay before me threadbare
Photographs snapped in seconds now lay before me
Of happy moments blurred just as colors fade
I can see those picture-perfect moments
Soothe me with their smiles and warm embrace
Precious photographs now surround me.
Hanging on the walls, sitting on windowsills
They seem to shine a light to guide me
To relive happy moments that now standstill
