Jasmin Grider Poetry

The light of the sun
Shining through-
A lens.
Capturing,
Idolizing,
Producing,
A memory
It's words-
Endless.
So much to say,
And yet-
Never speaking.
Confirming the truth.
Confronting the Imitation.
Though at times-
Judgmental.
Rarley deceitful.
Brightening days
with, Reinactment.
Amazing views
Of life-
Lived.
Of Time-
Gone.
Yet, reappearing.
Reminicing.
Photos
Give renewal
Of
Something we crave-
Time.
Oh How Priceless!
Photos-
Telescopes to the past.
Digesting images.
Recall-
And live again
That moment-
Through a photo.
A mere piece of paper.
Yet-
Priceless.
Belonging to
A higher power.
Making an instance come alive.
A gift all on its own.
Through the centuries.
Photos
Existed.
Giving birth
To perspectives in the world.
Giving eyes to unseen destinations.
Taking in billions of smiles-
Tears-
And Beauty.
Yesterday, tomorrow,
And right now.
A celebrated part
Of our existance.
Making life livable.
You are praised-
Photograph-
For bringing nourishment-
And-
Quenching the thirst of imagination.
