silverscreen on my mind

"I have felt alone all my life, except with you..."

-Lucilla to Maximus, Gladiator

Perhaps, the lines were memorized.

Memories in dimlight were never tarnished,
even if it is being gone over
a million times.
The scenes were viewed in the mind, frame...
by frame.
For many years, this had been
the only way.

Call this a stroke of luck
or a conspiration of destiny,
it is still
a rare chance to have - for both.

(Thank you Diane for your photography and eye for beauty. I fell in love with this picture immediately.)
