Shutter

Camera lens open
Capturing beauty's existence
With one push of a button
the image
is our only way to hold onto
Time as it passes

Shutter closes
and the moment is gone
We are left with a photograph
that will never be captured again

Little moments of time captured, I love looking at old photographs wondering about the people staring back at me.

It amazes me that after 20 years, photos can still capture those fleeting moments that we long ago forgot about
