Photograph

His holy photograph looms before me
Its original starts to take shape within me

Black nitrate solution has taken the image
Blackness within but lights slowly emerge

The Original from my heart walked the earth
Got photographed, hid back into darkness beneath

The photo tugs the origin gently from the dark
The Real responds, has Its moods, takes some work

Hang on to His photographs, drink in the sight
This shadowy light will switch on the heart's light
Sun will rise, behind you, the dull, dark night

Till then, make the best use of this shadow
The moon shows the way, when you walk the night meadow
Up from moonlit dream walk, sun comes knocking at your window

The Real slipped out
Walked the earth, got photographed
Back inside hearts folds
