BY JOHN NEBL

Pictures are something that have taken place.
They represent something the way it was.
Pictures are worth more than you may think.
Pictures are like words in a different form.
At the time the picture is taken, time stops.
Until the shutter falls its here, alive.
The picture is happy or sad like a ghost.
The representations are like a living model.
The picture's taken as a preservative,
The memory will linger on the paper.
The object is long gone but still yet here,
In a moment the feeling will return.
The object, alive, speaks in many ways,
Though it's flat, it speaks being one in many.
