Time and Eternity
Through the lens,
I watch the world pause,
its breath held in a frame of light.
In this rectangle of truth,
I trap a fragment of forever,
a silent witness to the now,
and in that moment,
the world is mine–
dancers caught mid-pirouette
a story told without words,
a symphony in silence.
