Can you see through that camera lens?
The world is passing by,
now & then.

Can you see it, through that 30mm lens?
Picking & choosing, when to pull the shutter.

Take your pictures, your memories,
till your roll is used up,
and the shutter stays closed.

Can you redeem yourself through that camera lens?
Tossing undeveloped photos,
of captured memories.

Can you say a thousand words, for each?
Until all they are, are photographs
from a roll pulled too soon,
with no warm peal of life.

The world is passing by,
now & then,

can you see it through that camera lens?
Lets put it down for now.
