Frozen in Time

Frozen in Time

Frozen in time--

the day I

last saw you,

speaking eloquently

to so many friends.

Laughing and smiling.

Looking healthy, not

months away from

the final slide.

The years add up,

but I still

see you clearly.

Frozen in time.

Frozen in my mind.

Thanks to Dana Dampier for this week's Wordsmith  Studio Creative Prompt-Frozen. The prompt is posted each Thursday. Last Thursday, I went to the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park on the grounds of the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. It is one of my favorite places to write and take photographs. I took several pictures of the ice in the pool that is part of the sculpture One Sun/34 Moons by Walter De Maria. When I got home, I checked the prompt and knew I had a choice of several photos. I started working on the poem a little later.
