Delivered.

Letter to the world as it was today.
My mind took a photograph, one of a moment clear. When memory may grow fuzzy, that feeling sparked in a moment may suddenly re-appear. As a flash it will return, I knew that in the very second, but in the photograph I must keep it, as time passes and delivers lessons from which I must truly learn.

In that second, that still frame of a time of life, question did not haunt eyes. There was no sign of a heart half hidden by scars of strife. Innocence was the only plague in such a picture.. sickly in its sweetness and invisible in it's shield. Delicious light, delight was all that came from the cries.

A smile can dance in its memory.. and yet it delivers much hurt. Fingers trace lips, feeling for words unsaid, the braille of dreams lost, smooth happiness tainted with dirt. The pull of the image.. the thoughts it inspires. To regret is not worthwhile. To be bitter is to betray the moment's smile. To feel sadness is to feed angers fire.

Thankyou's are all I have for this photograph. To lose them, is to give up the now.. Which is the next memory to be captured.. To thank only, is my solemn vow.
