Theresa - Camera

Camera

So bright so lively,

It captures every important moment,                          

Memories you keep forever, 

Any form or shape it may be, 

If only life could be like that sometimes, 

So bright so light , 

Just blurred at the edges,
Slightly out of focus,

A tiny bit fogged,
 

And those people in your frame caught looking,

Smiles surprises and joy,

Harmless like cartoon characters,
And the surprises you couldn’t see,
When you snapped the shutter,
 

Guessing at focus, exposure,
How the sun glows softly,
And shadows spread like coffee,
And all life’s multitude of grays,
Shimmer like silk scarves,
And dance in summer’s breeze,
