Artists capture moments.
They capture moments with patience, with perspective.
Artists capture moments in different ways.
A photographer will show you the beautiful butterfly,
resting on a flower.
The painter will show you what is out of frame,
a little girl staring in wonder.
And the poet will tell you how magical it was,
how the park quieted for a moment when the
butterfly flew and landed on her nose-
Then there it is - a photo, of pure joy.
Then all three artists, smiling in awe at this moment.
This small, precious moment.
One many would have missed.
But now is forever immortalized,
by observant souls.

Artists capture moments.
They capture moments with patience, with perspective.

And the poet will tell you how magical it was,

Then there it is - a photo, of pure joy.
Then all three artists, smiling in awe at this moment.
This small, precious moment.
One many would have missed.
But now is forever immortalized,
by observant souls.
