The Photograph
There is something about black and white-
.In pictorial images
Reproduced upon the surfaces of yesterday;
The Earth-The Sky-The Sea....
All sensitive to light
.Much as our skin to the sun-
It's radiant energy oft' sizzling;
Or perhaps capturing Falls leaves in dance
Or a Spring of hailstones;
The rooster at dawn-
A fires lone ember
.Your face in the moonlight
Your smile in the rain;
Yes, there is something about black and white-
And there IS something about this photograph of you!
