Click! Click! Open, closed
the image to the light exposed
the image caught for eternity,
exposed for all whod like to see.
Yet what you see, is not what I did -
You see a world under a lid
perfectly composed and staged
cropped, adjusted, as if caged.
I got to see the world expand
the sky unbridled over land,
I got to see the birds in flight,
I got to see the oceans might.
I witnessed love and joy and pain
I can testify to loss and gain
I saw that there was more to life
than mere existence without strife.
I went in search of life and found
the source where faith and hope abound.
With one foot in front of another,
the strangers face became that of a brother.
Click! Click! The moment is captured
but all those moments have my heart enraptured.
