Photo To The Soul

Photo To The Soul

A Poem by The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)

 

Your eyes will always be

a window to my soul.

For seeing myself through them

I see part of a man I never wanted to be.

Moments of weakness

can make a strong statement

for changes that need to be made.

Looking in the mirror

only shows signs of aging

but in no way reflects

one’s spiritual growth.

So I look at your photograph

as a motivator to understand

my imperfections

and make them into a positive.

I only wish I had the craftsmanship skills

to make a frame for protecting your photo

from tearing or fading,

cause a store bought one

just won’t do.

Moments of weakness

:) good to be here.
Some pictures can only be protected in the heart. And you're right about the mirror. Other peoples eyes give a deeper reflection. A well thought poem indeed :)

Thank you so much... I always try to write from the heart so people can relate to me.
a beautifully touching piece of work. My own thoughts of a photo, it's valuable memories that I try to keep from tearing or fading- to lose something so precious. & to feel that you should be its ultimate protector- in life, in love... Deeply heartfelt piece. Thank you for sharing.

And if only one could order customised, tailor made replacement, souls when they become tarnished,............. and if only they could be upgraded regularly, heh, nicely penned!
