A PHOTOGRAPH

~
A photograph, perfect picture of essence
More than the capture of a moment
More than the beauty of colours
Much more than the likeness of posture

It’s divine, it can never be replaced
It’s forever gone, impossible to reproduce
It’s a memory of both the good and bad, and ugly
It’s a blissful portrait

A mirror that reflects the old and the new
Of which can draw a tear or make you smile
The glimmer, fragility of a sensuous moment
With the click of the shutter, something happens

Like a fusion of worlds Physical, Chemical, Scientific
The essence of a lonely flower
Billowing in the breeze, and when all is gone
The photograph’s a witness to its existence
