Memories through the lens

The shiny, smooth surface,
Light reflecting off it.
Scrolling through the memories before me
Vibrant colours shooting out.

My thumb stops.
Smiling faces stare at me
All huddled together,
One big family.
Waves crashing behind them,
Sand brushing against their toes.

Pausing at the photo,
Trees arching powerfully over me.
I can still remember the smell
Of the sweet flowers
And the songs of the birds
In the forest.

Reminiscing over the past,
Sad it is over yet happy it happened.
Memories I will never forget,
All stored in my camera.
