you shine. you shimmer. soft. bright. strong. hot.

you streak. across my back. in my eyes. my hair is set ablaze.

you bring the warmth. bundled and cold, your presence is my shining glimmer of hope.

sometimes I can’t find you…you’re subtle. quietly, working your magic.

effortlessly, easily, you break through the absence. any void. all darkness.

you gleam.

and this is the reason why I watch. it was written deep within me, an inborn nature, it’s where my eye is led.

intuitively my soul wanders, mingles, and seeks the place that feels right,

and then in an instant, a signal, shutter closes, and I steal it away claiming it as mine.

LIGHT.

every photograph I’ve witnessed, these pieces of paper laying around, every face I never knew that came before…

every moment captured,

those precious documentations,

are simply due to you.
