A Moment Captured
How do you capture a moment?
I said to the Blue Jay, “how do you capture a moment?”
He began to sing out with all of his lungs.
His song stretched out to the heavens.
It was the most beautiful song ever sung.
I said to the humming bird, “how do you capture a moment?”
He began to slow down, and even time itself came to a stop.
His wings became still and he glided in mid flight.
I could see him flutter as he stopped there, in the night.
Muscles popped out of his neck as he drank from his nectar.
I reached out my hand and touched him as he flew to another sector.
How do you capture a moment?
I saw a lion and I asked him the same question as before, “how do you capture a moment?”
He slowly crouched down, on all fours and began to creep up on his prey.
Bounding, from out of nowhere he tore into his victim, full of neigh.
He was very powerful, with his instinctual motion.
“How do you capture a moment?” I asked a deer, who was standing by.
She tore her hooves into the ground and then she really began to fly.
She ran gently and lightly, right up the hill side.
She ran smoothly and swiftly, without loosing stride.
How do I capture a moment?
I asked myself this question and I waited for a reply.
I would go to the ocean, that’s the first thing I’d try.
I would lay down on the sand and watch the moments pass me by.
I would watch the waves as they danced all around, on the shore.
Lying there, I would run my hands through the sand.
I would think of my life and all the times I had in store.
Listening to the sea and it’s soft little rumble,
I would close my eyes and let my thoughts start to tumble.
I would imagine the seagulls as they soared from up above.
I would take in the scent of the sea and remember my first love.
To fully capture a moment, the ocean’s where I’d be..
For, there’s nothing quite as lovely, as the sea.
