Pictures In A Frame

Open the gate and I walk in,
This was the kingdom of our youth
The garden glows with magic,
The halls hang heavy with pictures,
Pictures of you.

Blue bicycles stationary in black and white,
Summer kids displayed like trophies in the sun,
The newlyweds glittering with faith and hope,
Sun-kissed, sepia-colored laughs

And combed-back hair.
Just another Life, another mound in the ground.
Funny how your brightest day is just a picture now.
Where are you now?

A moth-eaten photograph in a wallet all folded up,
Some markings in a book, long forgotten,
A desk cluttered with ornaments and stories,
So many stories.
And combed-back hair.

Just another Life, another mound in the ground.
Funny how your brightest day, is just a picture now.
Where are you now?

Take your time, wear your hair down.
Before your laughing eyes, become another picture in a frame.
Just a faded picture in a frame.
