Images of Eternity
A Few Philosophical Words about Photography
By Matthew Orion Stephens
July 7, 2014
A picture is worth a thousand words
At least that is what they say
The voice of an image cannot be heard
In an ordinary way
The eyes must read these stories of light
Such tales remain frozen in time
Freedom, unhindered like a bird taking flight
Reveal expressions so sublime
The mind may wander, the pulse begins to race
When viewing great photography
Some excite emotions, tears roll down the face
For Images of Eternity
This poem is dedicated to my mother Michelle Jacobsen
who passed away when I was five years old.
I only have one photograph to remember you by,
but I still love you mom.
