Faded photo on the mantle alone without a name
dusty edges whisper stories
Ignite a whispered flame
Face is frozen in a moment
smiles stitched in time
Memories wrapped in shadow love's forgotten crime
Cracked corners curl in silence behind a glassy sheen
Laughter echoes in the distance where the light has been
Long lost glances captured in that faded frame
Every picture holds the answers but they never say
Dance with shadows through the past let the music play
Fade to black and white again memories on display
Time by moments known but now they slip
away On the mantle time is rested holding secrets
tight Hazy figures come to life
in the soft moonlight
Silent voices try to speak through the silent screen
Telling tales of long ago
sights we've never seen
If we pressed rewind in life would we then rewind the pain?
Or would we paint the world in color break the dusty chain?
Shadows
time by moments known but now they slip away
