Photographs and Memories by Deborah S ReganFor as tiny as child can be, was I
Yesterday, my mneumonic tought would not come
Photgraphic visions of my life begun
Speak not to me; yet camera cannot lie.
Metagalaxies of meaning ended
When tireless time aged my outward form
My consolation: a yellow sun still warm
With beauty umcompared its light descended
Photography cannot record fleeting things
Int the heart; trust more in ink and mermory
In ink I write; my words cannot betray me
Rosy memory still sothes awkward things
Photographs speak nothing of existence
With mirrors they but reflect appeararence 12/31/2003 Posted on 12/31/2003 Copyright © 2024 Deborah S Regan
