Marching Down The Hall

Teasing moments of memories

Flit through my unsettled mind

Stilled and framed

And hung to remember

As I move along

An endless narrow hallway

Life

And when I am out of breath

I stop and peer at each picture

Framed, Captured

Now just a marching row

Of memories

Of what once was living moments

Life

I am living a new moment

I must continue marching

Down the hall

For soon I'll find today

Stilled and framed

And hung upon this very wall
