My fascination,
favorite attraction,
purest joy
photographing nature,
is finding the meek
among the mundane
and crowning
with due recognition
the beauty beyond fit
for the stage;
sort of like lemonade
from life’s lemons,
I like to look
at it all through
the light in my lenses.
The less obvious,
the underfoot trodden,
I refract the rays
to highlight
the forgotten,
and so it goes
as a life lesson:
beauty exists
all around us,
the purest gems
right beside us,
all perfect as is
before the bruiting,
for we are all precious
within.
