Polaroid memories

 


I wade through a swell of

Polaroid memories,

the moments trying to pull me in,

to take me back to a day lost in

the fading pages of history.

I glance around, a sea of places,

Faces; some I remember ,

others that time has seemingly erased.

I feel the urge to let them drift me away

to some long-forgotten summer day.

 

In the swirl of memories,

those Polaroid snapshots of past days

I see a lost boy, wandering lonely

but in his eyes a glint of light.

If only he knew,

the journey would be hard

but the destination would have a beautiful view.

I see the beginning of a fight

that will last him a lifetime,

but one that is right,

a feeling inside

that can never be outshined.

 

I glance around at times

more innocent than now,

when all we wanted

was to laugh at sun rise

and watch as the burning skies

brightened those days,

excited for what the hours would bring.

 

Now burning skies only bring tears,

power hungry beings towering over the   

the lives of the lost and suffering.

I wonder what our Polaroid memories

will show in the years to come?

Will it be the shame of everyone

for standing by whilst hope was

being held hostage

at the smoking end of a gun.
