A Photograph Poem by Dittero Respierda

A moment forever
Frozen in time
The picture unmoving
The people inside
A portal to the past
A place that is gone
It was good while it lasted
And when it was gone
The people stare back
Unable to change
Back from a time
That now seems so strange
The moment is captured
Held back in a cage
Holding the image
In the depth of the page
