A memento of a moment.

A memento of a moment.

A Poem by andrew mitchell

Silhouettes of past
stand tall as shadows
against the cottage chimney
masked in mist.
All the while the backdrop of
the rolling hills in grey
follow the lines of the pencil
on yesterday's new canvas.
As the sun nurses 
the landscape wounds,
with clouds frowning,
the moment was framed,
the horse and cart seem unmoved.
Trapped in time
between glass and paper -
a constant reminder...
the pressing of a silverfish.

trapped in time, and neither one came before the other...
sometimes we are all just trapped in a moment...and cannot get past it.
