Capture It

 

Never let a magical moment go to spoil,

Grasping it through the corner of your eye.

Discover inspirations you need in the soil,

See it when looking to the turbulent sky.

 

An art that still has slots for improvement,

A glimpse that needs time to become ripe.

Focusing on sound and tracking movement

Gets under skins and feeds a hungry hype.

 

See souls and colors of the evolving wilds,

Stand to capture the most radiant of lights.

Recognize beauty in the actions of a child’s,

Give those who cannot travel fresh sights.

 

It may be just a hobby to the body cleanse,

For some it is a fine art for others a tangle.

Playfulness through a mere modest lens

That will get results depending on the angle.

 

Absolutely leave not a single click to spare,

An endless pleasure like a dog playing fetch.

It really does not matter when, why or where

As long as you get that perfect photo sketch.

 

Many attempts to balance the best contrast,

Either for the silent night or the pretty rose.

To obtain a firm reminder of our future past,

One must let the mind of an artist compose.

 

Timing is ephemeral and the vital paragon

Before fragile instants in need of rooting.

And before the land and the folks are gone,

Make cameras the only gears worth shooting.
