NaBloPoMo 2021
I see beauty profound
Fiery fall colors abound
The vista that induces rapture
I wish to permanently capture
So I try to take pictures from angles different
Make videos to preserve the moment
Even wax poetic about how I feel
The impact of the scenery on my senses I want to seal
*
The present I tucked away for future reminiscence
But in doing so I daresay I forgot to experience
The actual moment unfolding before my eyes
Now, just a few days later, I happen to realize
That I cannot recall details of that day
What the cool breeze smelled like, I cannot say
Whether my skin was warmed by the dappled sunlight
I do not know, I missed feeling that outright
Did I feel a sense of calm or tranquility
In the presence of breathtaking beauty?
*
Most of what I remember is based on the photographs I took
In seeing through my lens, with my eyes I forgot to look..
Passion...unbridled
