like a whirling dervish
life spins
like a fast running stream
time passes
like a carousel
joy circles
like a blink of an eye
moments are lost
like lightning
love strikes
like denim
images fade
like chalk on a sidewalk
life passes
only we can choose to remember

Beautiful, just beautiful...
It's amazing how one photo is the keeper of so many memories...

I love the string of similes...I'll have to try that sometime.
To leave a photo, etched in time, this we can choose only for ourselves.

Sad and beautiful sentiments but I wonder how much photos contribute to our worry about time passing and keep us from being fully committed to the now!
Delightfully done.

Beautiful..but when remembering is gone? You summed up the passage of time so well...lovely...
...like chalk on the sidewalk.
So vibrant at first, but eventually it does fade and wash completely away. Wonderful.
A beautiful poem. Your repetition is so effective in drawing us along through the perfect metaphors.
You captured the melancholy of nostalgia.
Solid image/flow work.
I love the image of the sidewalk chalk. Sweet nostalgic poem

And those memories can be so special, can't they?
and what we choose to forget
beautiful
