Paluxey snapshot
Just for a moment,
...forever ago,
...young love frozen
...in an old photo.
...he tugs long braids
...of scarlet hair,
...she stands her ground
...with gentle glare.
Down by the river,
...under the hill,
...and whippoorwill.
...two young lovers
...who soon will part,
...with much regret
...and wounded heart.
But this moment's
...caught In life and joy
...for the red-haired lass
...and the soldier boy;
...their eyes are locked
...in fiery glow
...frozen in time
...forever ago.
