The Colors Of The Times Poem by Nanashino Ryu

I see several colors in a photograph.
The colors of town, the colors of vehicles,
and the colors of clothes.
These colors represent the times.
Because coloring of the print
is different with the times.
Even if I see other's snapshots,
I can see the times with the colors.

How about monochrome?
Youth's fashion, woman's makeup,
roads, signboards, cars and houses.
I try to imagine the colors of the times,
and the scene in the photo begins to move.

People walk, talk, laugh and cry, in the photos.
We had good times and bad times.
And the times never return any longer.
When I imagine about the past times,
I feel humans so lovely.

What color can I find in these times?
The times when people longed for the richness.
The times when people were interested in same topics.
The times when big city also had deep sleep.
The times gave the future's colors to me who was young,
and even now……
