Imagining Life
By Don Iannone

Images
...old as life itself.
Snapshots
...of feelings
...racing through us
...faster than light.
Stills
...but momentary glimpses
...of what's there
...and disappears

...before the artist even lifts his brush
...from the still wet canvas.
Images
...just tiny reflecting pools
...where we can almost see ourselves
...if we look quickly.
Once I even saw the man
...behind the camera
...but he was gone
...in the blink of an eye.
All
...picture reality
...in whatever light appears
...for as long as it lasts.
Imagine that.

Thanks Jim and Dan.

Jim, it's nice to find oneself in a poem. Thanks for sharing these findings. So many faces like this one in the world. Each face is a powerful reflecting pool for those with the courage to look into them.
