Black and white, yellowing
slightly faded through the years
moments frozen in time
people, faces timeless.
Revealing, yet concealing
speaking through silence,
but are they heard correctly?
We may never know.
As we seek to understand,
to discern similarities,
to explain
an expression, a smile, a raised eyebrow
preserved, visible for eternity,
Unchanged, unchangeable.

So good! "...are they heard correctly? We may never know." The pathos and poignancy of that.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Sigh, so much of this work is guessing. But better than forgetting :)
