Just for a moment,
They are frozen in time.
Their spirits have passed,
Their mark left in grime.
A quick sudden frost,
And footprints are left.
To mark someone’s passing,
Do not be bereft.
They simply walked by,
On a day in their life.
Mud took a snapshot,
A moment of strife.
Locked for a second,
And then frozen in place.
Captured in pictures,
For a moment of grace.
Time is immutable,
They tell me that’s true.
But I know the facts,
Truly I do.
Time is a moment,
A second in space.
It moves ever forward,
At its own leisure pace.
But it can be captured,
And kept for all time.
By the eye of a man,
And a woman of rhyme.
Once again I am inspired by a picture by Dan. He and his dog Maddie provide me with such pleasure on an ongoing basis. You can visit him at: nofacilities.com. You will never be disappointed!

It’s funny. I almost didn’t include that one. I’m learning to trust my gut and to feel, “if I like it, that’s enough.” Finding out that you like it means even more.”
