Stopping to capture beauty…
drawn into memory, history, legacy,
motion froze in time, still air…
serenity in the stillness, momentarily,
across the plane of the petals,
all in the focus, clarity,
breathing, drinking it all in...
Perfection in the details,
subtle hints of shadow
sunlight hitting a moving wave,
all drawn into focus, depth of field…
diving in ever more closely
for the perfect shot…
Seeing the world differently
in precision, close-up, closer,
lowering my body, my eyes, my lens,
across the plane of the petals,
stopping even for a moment…
beauty alive in the still air
just off the front porch…
Velvet, satin, a soft living fabric,
cut by the Creator, such precision,
formed from the unfolding kernel,
across the plan of the petals…
The center rising, a ballet dancer,
ache of stopped motion, frozen,
poised like a spinning top…
Across the plane of the petals,
slowing my steps toward the door,
pausing from my motion,
seeing the world stopped,
taking time to notice
work of our Potter’s hand…
