The Temporary appraisal



They Say a smell can take you back in time
A song can allow you to recollect the memory of moments passed, however, there is something unexplainable that comes to mind when it comes to a photo; a stair of every detail to grasp.

A stare & vivid visualization of the memory exact & whole.
Exact & whole; reassuring that nothing is meaningless from the view.
A temporary anesthetic that consoles the grieving heart; that brings back - though short from venting life which must return to its dying mark.

The photo. Bringing that inevitable yet guaranteed absence from time to the forefront, Yet we are destined for meaning & give purpose as we gaze; prepared to hunt.
It comes to us from strengths seized from efforts and expends to its end result such as that which lives is also destined to die.
