Capturing a Moment
Green leaves in nature
The wind blows taking with it glistening leaves
A soft rushing
Reminders of memories
Light fading upon the distant trees
Birds calling
Singing what it means to be free
A soft thunder rumbling in a distant land
Clouds drifting overhead passing grasses and sands
If only I had a butterfly net
To capture the light
If only I had a box to contain the sound of wind chimes
A glass case holding different times
If only I could capture a moment of what it means to be alive
