The Nameless Face

A dear friend of ours found this image among old family pictures, but nobody knows who she was.
From that moment this face looking through the faded window of time intrigued me.

There she is,
Looking to her future,
Which was long within our past.
She wondered then,
As we wonder now,
What can really last.

A nameless face,
Across the place of time,
A longing and a life.

Faded photo,
Tattered and torn,
Yet beauty prevails in strife.

Here so short,
To live our lives,
And then we go away.

What we have done,
And who we loved,
What remains to say?

Once we share,
Our lives and joy,
Our lives and joy,
That never goes away.

Forever part,
Of other hearts,
Beyond the final day.

Loves tapestry,
Once woven,
Can never be undone.

A light that shines,
Through life and death,
To outshine the sun.

Whoever she was,
Wherever she is,
She was once begotten.

Our souls living,
Forever in love,
Can never be forgotten.
