    Blurred edges murmur time's hug,

    A caught second, a recognizable face.

    Delicate grins wait, frozen in light,

    Reverberations of giggling in shadows of night.

    Dust bits dance in the sun's warm shine,

    Stories unfurl in the tranquility they show.

    A kid's wide eyes, a darling's delicate look,

    Life's temporary quintessence trapped in a fog.

    The foundation a material, when energetic and strong,

    Presently muffled like mysteries that recollections hold.

    Each flaw and line tells stories of the past,

    Of delight and of anguish, every second amassed.

    As I follow the blueprints, the years float away,

    I'm secured in recollections, no matter what.

    However time might delete what we hold dear,

    This photo murmurs, "You were here."
