Snapshot
When you see a photograph
Does it fill you with despair
Looking at a memory realized
Out of the pale thin air
Do you dare look into the eye
Which can see more than you can think
Or will you let your fears take hold
And end on a permanent blink?
I work to capture the beauty inside
But I only have found you
The life lived but somewhat dead
For the dreams that didn’t come true
If we take a shot and attempt
To see the next frame of light
Should we be afraid of what we find
Or what passes our able sight
I know not what to expect
When my shutter goes
What I would love to know instead
Is which way the wind blows
And in the night would you expose
The film of your fragile soul
Or would you stay in the dark
And love only what was untold
Let me use the shutter flash
Not to blind but let you see
Let me bring you into the light
And tell you it was me
