Was it two centuries past
Or just few moments ago
When did I first let go
Seems like a memory lost
Caught in rusty sepia hues
Grainy and slightly scratched
Tears and grins here are etched
Without remorse or rues
Preserved in frames of wood
Behind thin sheets of glass
Or on paper cheap and crass
Or stashed under the hood
It could just be a picture
A still fragment of time
Or condensed into a rhyme
It could be sacred scripture
And so, as I sit and stare
I reflect on where it began
Two hundred strokes I swam
And yet I’m hardly there…
