Amidst the endless dance of light and shade, 
The seasoned lensman delves in yesteryear's cascade, 
Through old photographs, 
a surreal reverie, 
Where time feels but a breath away, 
tender and near.

Photographers, 
souls of romance and verse, 
Capturing tales of life, 
blessings and a curse, 
Embracing the mystical, 
the unseen, I, too, embrace this truth, 
a poet's dream.
