Another peek into the photographs of persons and their relationships:
Fly On A Photographer's Wall by Michael Doyle Photographs so perfectly still Are a marvel that makes us feel All these candid moments captured well Soul numbing as they tell their tale Forever healthy and always happy Crowded in the doings of family Unable to be captured without inspiration Unable to be found in forced duplication Always present, camera at a ready Life comes at us relentlessly steady All the right moments taken in their measure Each of these remembered as our treasure Whether you capture a smile or a cry There's no point in pretending to deny All of life's feelings caught in their emotion Are as sacred as our heart's true devotion Body language brings its honesty Without a word, we touch on divinity No suffering fool could be more plain Then to hope to bring a smile from disdain Floating by like a fly on the wall The unseen guest filters through it all Watching it as it begins to unfold Letting the story be just as it is told Little slice of life quietly reveal And then the photograph captures it in still The mechanics of each photograph Whispers the cue of whether to cry or laugh Paid off in leading lines and windowed eyes That draw us in framed with no surprise Splashed of color explode in perfected space All waiting for the camera's embrace (c) June 20, 2020 Michael Doyle All Rights Reserved
