Moments captured in a photo
A lifetime Frozen in a frame
Wounds preserved and held in escrow
places we long to be again
The sun will rise and set on this life
Leading us through our expiratory
Jagged and beautiful the knife
As thousands of pixels reveal our story
Life is potentially unkind
During even the best of times
Blurring the ties that loving binds
Severing the precious fragile lines
But nothing and no one can steal the hearts joy
Cemented deeply in our soul
A gift the father graciously employs
Filling with love the empty void
New days will come, bringing us wonder
The past will blend making them shine
And once again we’re held here under
The mercy of his grand design

You Weren’t Supposed to Read This
You weren’t supposed to read this. That was the first line, written in the margin of a notebook I never intended to open again. It wasn’t a warning so much as a plea. The kind you make when you hope the paper itself might protect you from being seen.

This was extremely poignant and emotional. Loved your poem! Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
The picture is uncredited. Is it your ex? If so, I can understand why you fell for him, why you hold onto those memories & feelings, & why they hurt so much.
Evocative imagery captures fleeting moments, beautifully done.
