Point, Focus, Aim, Shoot

Point
Focus
Aim
Shoot!

A memory caught in time
One to be remembered
And stored away
Even on the road trips on the highway

I may forget the exact day
And I may forget the smell
But what lies within me
Is the feeling exploding out from me
The feeling surging through my veins
That day
The way I felt
The people I was with
And the laughs and conversations shared

Wound back
Removed
And developed

What once was a light proof film strip
Now is invaded by the light
Permanently scarring the film
And immortalizing my memory

Enlarged
Copied
And Framed

I am now on display
My work
My memory,
People will walk by
Glance at it
And Study it
Being pulled towards it
Like a magnet
Some people may not get it
Some people think they may get it
People think they know everything

The secret is though
Is no one really knows,
Because it was my memory
I was the one
Behind the lens
Focusing and aiming
Just right
Before capturing that moment
That moment in time

Point
Focus
Aim
Shoot!
