Snapshot in Time
I stand like
A snapshot in time
Touch my lips
Skin to skin
An act of remembering
Between past and present
The line is thin
In my gesture
The letter is sent
There is no other
Your memory hanging
Before me

Oh, those words we never got the chance to speak. Unresolved issues or pledges of devotion… a reminder to connect presently!
Thanks for your visit and kind words.
Oh, this is so lovely. Gentle, honest, poignant. Filled with love that was somehow left unresolved.
Fabulous use of the prompt words Annell.
Lovely poem, Annell. It pulled at my soul strings.
Very poignant: “your memory is hanging before me.” Lovely.
Sad and wistful words, so very well-worded….I just hope it all works out for her….
She rides the waves like a champion surfer. But the memory is there. Thanks for you comments. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

Annell, my was heart aching while reading this. I am in a very melancholy mood right now, and this piece pulled me in. Lovely write.

Memories can be mixed blessings, can’t they? But often bring sad feelings as we think of the one gone.
Love the final line.
Annell, came back for a second look. Same deep down response. This one is definitely a keeper,
Elizabeth

I decided I needed to go back and reread it. I took the “is” out of the next to the last line. I think it is better. I would have liked to have said, “Your memory hangs before me.” But you know that wordle. Annell Livingston HC 74 Box 21860 El Prado, NM 87529

There is a fragility here hanging onto what seems to be a very thick line..immovable line…Jae
