"An old photo" - Poemchallenge" - by @margaretwise. ✍🏻🗝Poetry is an expression of personal emotions

The old photo is lying on the floor,

probably a good few years.

Someone has abandoned it,

and he went to the empty world.

Dusty old photo,

trampled by soles.

Probably escaped into emptiness,

and left without strength.

An old photo in the shadow of a cloud,

and in the picture faces.

They look closely,

Someone stopped time.

The old picture is slowly fading,

sparks in their eyes go out.

The words are silent, the hopes dissipate,

and old dreams disappear.

Forever

The picture shows my real family. I present to you briefly. Unfortunately, I do not know the rest of people from my family. Probably they are the sisters and brothers with their families of my great-grandmother and great-grandfather. Time covered the memory and faces of others. However, I am very grateful to my uncle, whom you already know from my posts - "Open air-museum in Sierpc", for finding this photo. A part of our beautiful family is weathered on an old photo, the only thing is that you can imagine conversations, laughter and running children full of vigor and great ideas right after shooting.

Thank you that you have read my poem, which I do not hide is very emotional for me.
