Picture on the wall.

A picture on the wall,
is a shadow of life that captures time.

From the old ruffled cloths of old,
the uninitiated gait and trait,
i see this picture of old.
of this boy with tattered short,
and it reminds me of old time country.
reminds me of girls fetching firewood.
This picture brings a thousand memories,
of christmas' of old times,
the sharing of the goodies,
and then oops,
of finite friendships,
and siblings going back to the city.
This picture reminds me of old time swag.
Men with bell bottomed shorts,
and women with coloured plaited short dresses.
And this made these moments special.
It reminds me of old time fears of growing up,
frustrations of being young,
and the big dreams of youth.
This picture on the wall,
tells a thousand things.
