And the ashes can't be forgotten
because people can't forget
what they've been taught is
important but others stand there
listening not understanding.

That's how i feel.

I keep a camera in my bag
at all times, I never like to miss
the things going on that manage
to make me smile. Children playing tag
in the street while moms make dinner
or the way petals hang just right on a rose.

Honestly, there's a rhythm to the world
that artist capture on film every day
and all I'll ever ask is that you give me
the chance to be like that.

It's not something you can search for
and find so easy; there's more to it
than that, there's the adventure of getting to
the moment, the right place at the right time.
i keep a camera by my side everywhere I go
in case I find the kind of beauty
I can only wish I possessed.

But really,
in the end,
it's not so bad
hiding
behind the
camera.
