Through a lens, our world we see
Distant lands, well-laid plans
Often don’t follow the rule of three
Sometimes, it seems, it’s all for the fans
For the glam, the pomp, the grand
But through the eyes of a camera, glance
The shadows of light deserve to be panned
An unbound place in a square-bound case
Captured with your feet buried in the sand
Soulful and true are images we embrace
A sense of presence, of resonance
Transfixed on a different time and space
Understanding transpires from a distance
Our eyes sharing in art venture daring
Edging towards a growing resistance
Of inward reflection, about anyone caring
Art is this struggle and everyone fumbles
Show your stoic face to fear, daring.
A masterpiece never made, never crumbles
Work undone is worse than destroyed
For your voice, it grows by your stumbles.
And all of it is meant to be enjoyed.
