Fleeting ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #98

The express train rumbles through
town after town
station after station

Fleeting moments
in the picture of India
forming in my mind

Instants
out of the corner of my eye
stopped in time

Unfocused
Blurred
Impressions

Celestial cyclic moment
With every day arise
As starlight crests horizon
Seeking eastern skies

Awakened human spirit
A grace divine replies

The night is done
New day is come

I breathe in deep
Exhale a grateful sigh

A moment
A flash in passing
From a train window

A shawl
A dress
A woman

Old?

Yes

An old woman
Blending into the landscape
Now gone
Faster than you’ve read this
And soon enough
Forgotten

Shadows of time
Moments passed
Left to memories
In fading ink

Shadow event
Captured in light
Held in coloured silver
On fading film

Some consider photography
The art of recording

Moments
Beauty
Reality

But I have always used
My camera to create them

The art of life
Provides a more difficult task

I leave behind
Remnants of the past
Which moulder and decay
In lingering neglect

When I return
To pick them up
They are no longer
The same moments

Good:
live in the moment.

Better:
create moments worth living.
