Frames

We take a hold of this world
and hide it in drawers and albums.

Keeping the past safe
and still within these frames.

Memory does not wither,
Immortality is all around us.

The past no longer dies
in silence and forgetting.
It is here forever to hand.

We do not allow ourselves
the luxury of forgetting.

We carry with us always
the weight of remembering
and never letting go.
