Black & White Carnival and a still movie

This movie is mute...
and the images still...
Time - but moving..
and memories in air
suspended on strings.

It’s a carnival
in black & white
It’s loud around
All lips moving
I hear nothing...

A smile, or a twitch
or what is it?
Fire, and flames
in time, ashes.
Music and waltz
and then, retreat...?

Lines, curves, arches
of dreams and hopes
torn and burnt sketches
curled and shrunk
and the reels of movie
faded...discoloured



ps: what is eternal in life? What is it that we can be guaranteed about, except the guarantee of uncertainty? Perhaps the ability to dream is immortal...eternal... and the pursuit of that dream!
