AS I WENT OUT OF THE FRAME

A checkered table cloth spreads its fabric
Invites all to a shaded spot
Hosting a hot meal of togetherness
Carrying the taste of days gone by

Fragrance knocks at the neighbor’s door
Dancing, singing they arrive
I manage a welcoming smile
Thinking of more supplies

The sunny day melted into the cloudy sky
We sat and ate to heart’s content
All posed to capture fleeting moment,
Deducing, twin frames, ages apart will tell of
Differing times

A sudden gale snatched my hat away
Click!
Went the camera
As I was out of the frame
