A Time Capsule

For all the memories that time didn't take away.

A snapshot, a memory

Frozen pieces of time

The only legacy

Some will leave behind

An image, tranquil

Focused on its mark

Colours, standstill

An imprint on your heart

People, history, places

Captured through an eye

Moment’s time erases

Of the days gone by

Printed, hung and framed

Featured on your wall

Memories minutes claimed

Moments of time capsuled 

Author's Note

I love this, you always have photos, whether they be the candid moments you capture with your eyes forever or actual photos, they hold all of our memories :)

I really liked this. Photos do really keep those bits of time more alive. we do a lot to preserve things.... in photography, in music, in writing. it's crazy

[Broken Wings]

Thanks Melanie! Yeah we sure do, at least we don't have to sit for oil paintings these days, it only takes one second to take a snapshot as a remembrance of a moment, place or person. We do record a lot of things, sometimes a bit too much.

Praising what is lost makes the remembrance dear........
I loved every single word in the poem.....

Thank you so much Vani, that means a lot :)

Your words flowed perfectly, effortlessly. The rhymes were not at all cheesy or forced ( like previously stated.) It was raw, natural, pure emotion and I loved it.

[Broken Wings]

Thank you so much SineadJulia, for taking the time to read and comment and for your kind words. I'm glad that you liked it :) It came from a raw place.

Wow! This is very good. Really impressive. I agree with Lori that the rhymes did not seem forced at all. Thumbs up.

[Broken Wings]

I love this, Broken Wings.. the flow is beautiful, the rhyme doesn't feel forced and the imagery is wonderful. I've always liked the idea of a time capsule. I think we have more of them. Lovely job here.
