Ashamed to miss this special shot,
distracted by life's daily grind.
Undoubtedly, this very spot
was chosen by the one who brought
these pictures of a different kind.
A moment's stillness draws the eye
and glancing up, the clouds take pose.
God's picture-perfect alibi
as Nature breathes her reverent sigh.
An open door is bound to close.
How many masterpieces wind
before the unrepentant gaze?
Refracting light streams, prisms find
each darkened heart and fickle mind
ashamed to offer thanks or praise.
