Photo To The Soul

 

Your eyes will always be

a window to my soul.

For seeing myself through them

I see part of a man I never wanted to be.

Moments of weakness

can make a strong statement

for changes that need to be made.

Looking in the mirror

only shows signs of aging

but in no way reflects

one’s spiritual growth.

So I look at your photograph

as a motivator to understand

my imperfections

and make them into a positive.

I only wish I had the craftsmanship skills

to make a frame for protecting your photo

from tearing or fading,

cause a store bought one

just won’t do.

Nothing is picture perfect but that is what makes them valuable photos.

A picture is obviously worth a thousand words ... Not the stars or the billions of gems that lie under the ground in the earth ... but this picture ... then it must be a caricature of a person you do not yet recognize as yourself. Well put Dale.

Thank you sir.

At some point in our life, someone comes along... a traiblazer, leaving an everlasting imprint on our lives. They have a special power over us, and we stand completely naked before them and their eyes become a window to our soul. A simple photograph of theirs in our hands, leads to a profound reflection on what we are and what we could have been. That's the beauty of this photo because It's all about love...

You are a high thinking man! Proud of you, friend.
Thanks for writing and sharing this...

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Wow thank you for the deep insight and compliment... I really liked what you said.

You always come up with something unique, putting me in a reflective mode every time! I am just echoing your thoughts in different words. You are welcome! :)

A poignant poem, Dale. Felt this. It's funny the power that a photograph can hold. Capturing moments we sometimes wish we can return to. They can be a treasure. Just like this poem.... Well done, sir

Yes it is amazing the power a pic could hold... even the power a song could hold, or even certain smells that takes us back to certain times in life.
Thank you sir.

One needs introspection .. and reflection ..

Beauty is as beauty does ...

Acknowledging one's imperfections is the first step to perfection ..

A soulful write - open and revealing with a peaceful tone. A very enjoyable read with evidence of YOU. Nice penning, my friend!

Thank you very much.

It's understated and reverent at the same time....such a simple concept you've brought to life here on this page. It's a classic Dale, allowing someone to see into your soul is brilliant and scary at best... love this one!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Yes it is very scary indeed, thank you very much young lady.

[Frieda P]

My pleasure and you keep calling me 'young lady' and you're gonna be on fav's list forever!! ;-)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

[Frieda P]
