Time Traveler

Arkwright 061s_toned_cw

And I capture with a lens all of the light there is to see
A passing moment in time; a moment that will cease to be
Now a moment that will exist forever for you, and forever for me
Light made to art, by a spirit trapped but still so free

In this marvel of a jar, I can hold time tight
Everything that this moment is, by capturing the light
Time yielding its moments to an image, and halting its forward flight
To let us reflect on what was, and where we were, when the time is right

Call me a time traveler, and this box is my time machine
I am a merchant of memories; spending a currency of what is and what is unseen
What I gather and what I see in my world, and in my mind, and what has been
With love, and passion, and art and soul, I salvage your memories and dreams

So travel with me in this world, like the sands washing on to the shore
In waves always constant but never same; some in a whisper and some in a roar
Relive what once was; recapture the time, the youth, the feelings, and more
Created merely from light, to bring your memories to life, and let your imagination soar

Books Are Wonderful

Some images from a Yelp Awareness event at Dog Ears Bookstore and Cafe in Buffalo.

Dog Ears Bookstore and Cafe works in conjunction with schools, other community programs and centers and publishing companies to offer not only a place to obtain books, but to regenerate them in schools and the community. The Dog Ears Bookstore and The Enlightenment Literary Arts Center provide an atmosphere that promotes quiet reading time as well as group discussions and writing programs in order to maximize what literature and literacy have to offer.

All you need to know, kind reader, is that they have free coffee Fridays. Go visit them!
