Camera

The camera danced around the room,
Pointing this way and that,
Catching this angle, that light, another smile.
Snapshotting single moments and memories,
Like it was freezing the world with every click.
Until at last its work was done,
And heaving a sigh of relief it examined its life’s toil.
With every moment came the memories;
The great joy, the devastation, the moments of awe.
Each photo depicting a different scene,
Each photo capturing emotion,
Each photo another frozen world.
