Old Photographs

Old Photographs

I gaze upon the grey and white;
Grainy images of long ago.
Scattered memories of yesterday,
A real, but distant echo of days past;
I reminisce on images of old;
Kin of my generations portrayed;
Portals of time chronologically reflected.
Epic glimpse of place, breeds familiar.
Whether image bares historical lineage,
Or intimate soul of my life displayed.
Passages of time with the era swiftly gone;
Spanning decades of characters connect.
A multitude of lifetime passings,
Ego touched, by emotional antiquity;
With the faint sting of loss engraved.
History of my youth, memories evoked.
Tattered remnants of days long past;
Replicated visions inspire longing;
Recalling thoughts of moments lost
A legacy of love and family,
Heritage conspired to create my entity.
Here and now, born of once upon.
Clan of honor, visibly exhibited
Within the realm of these old photographs.
