Afterimage

Moments, frozen in my mind like a photograph Of time Captured, remembered when needed and bringing warmth Inside Cherish the time Live it while it's here Don't let it slip Away and disappear Crystallized and turned into something that can be tangible Always Carry it, let it be a guide when there's no clear path To take Cherish the time Live it while it's here Don't let it slip Away and disappear Keep it in your sight With an unblinking stare Form an afterimage When looking elsewhere These wondrous things that you hold inside They help to form the inner fabric of the mind Keep them safe, don't let them fade away They will be only memories someday And if you hold your eyes on the light It will form an afterimage in your sight And when you must look elsewhere The image will be superimposed there
