Life Through A lens

We see light,
reflecting back images
of that which is around us.
Staring from our office windows,
zooming out from our
mundane existence,
feelings are blurred,
out of focus with
our reality.
Shutter pressed, an instant
is trapped, time stood still.
We can change direction,
where do we want life to go?
To make that choice that becomes
the new frame in our personal reel.
To expose happiness and delete sadness.
A chance to create the perfect set,
where fantasy becomes reality
in a heartbeat, rather than waiting
for it to develop.
We can follow the storyboard,
edit, direct it, without limit,
until we press again.
