WORDS OF THE LIVING
(OLD PHOTOGRAPHS)
Stained pages
Crinkled corners
Holds the precious, printed pictures

But the paper offers much resistance
Their smiles do beam
A gentle, warming look
A slow, uplifting theme
Trapped within a thick, aging book
The fragile photos
Contained within an album
A backing track they have composed
And the recollection shall come
The yellowed papers
Are restored
Not in the delicate layers
But in the mind
