Photo Shadows
A photo transports me back in time.
Jul 17, 2023
time stands photo-still,
my mind disappeared
into yesteryear’s shadows.
Camels of dust,
a slow caravan trail,
sailing on the hazy horizon.
Wildflowers waving
in a dry cloying breeze.
Swaying to nature’s hymn.
Rusty old windmill creaking.
Sunflowers hanging head-down,
birds dancing in the summer sun.
We having fun, splashing in the farm dam.
Nostalgia hanging thickly,
a scent, a taste, a memory.
time stands photo-still,
my mind leapfrogged
into yesteryear’s shadows.
Poem inspired by A Taste for Life’s Monthly Theme — Memories.
