in an empty quiet room
collecting dust
and passing time.
It's a beautiful shot
of a blurred waterfall
deep in a wooded forest
and it sits
nicely framed
a thousand words disappearing into thin air
flowing into the silence of the empty room.
It was a centerpiece
just for a moment;
The spotlight of nature
brightening the mood
of anyone who gazed into its very soul.
But that was some time ago
When the room had many visitors
Some looking for inspiration,
Others surprised at what they found.
Some stayed for years,
Others just passing through.
But as time marches on
and life speeds up
on it's ever quickening pace to find
whatever it is it's looking for...
...this one
beautiful
inspirational
amazing
snapshot in time
frozen time
with its flowing water
frozen as well
sits there
with all it's beauty,
a reminder of what was
(and really, a reminder of still is
and always be
if one looks hard enough
and searches deep enough...)
As the photo sits in a room
on a shelf
nicely framed,
frozen in time
in a room,
a quiet, empty room,
waiting for the next person
to tell it's thousand-word story...
