snapshots from the present

tell me that i still know you,
that the person i see in
the snapshots from the present
is still the same person i know...
frozen in time, moments encased forever,
but life is moving on...

i see a stranger. i see no more the one i
thought i knew so well.

nothing is as constant as change
and take a snapshot from the present,
hold it up to the past,
and fall away, away into the dark of fallen hopes...

tomorrow's morning sun
to dispel the night?
steady the heart, strengthen the spirit...
though the memories of the bare and broken night
remain with me,
still i press on.

i wish you well
i always have and my prayers remain with you
petitions and hopes and intercession...
but i too seek healing and hope,
so His grace, given in time,
soothes the wounded spirit.
in time, i will return.
