Photographs and Poems A photograph stops the onrush of time, holds a fleeting instant in place for years and years and years. Water halts its rush, moss and lichens rest from their busy work, the breeze quits its dallying with the leaves. Poems are like that, too: a passing moment captured in words before it slides into forgetfulness. The flowing stream of experience momentarily suspended, like timed exposures, by reflections on things we've loved. The camera clicks, the pen is laid aside. Indifferent time resumes its fearful flow. But the photograph and the poem remain.
