The object of an observer

Every image

Every thought

No escaping

I am caught

Hidden in shadows

Hidden in light

Rescue me

From the devilish smite

Can you see?

Can you hear me?

Frozen in time

For eternity

Moments passing

I'm here to stay

No longer fearing

These never-ending days

I am motionless

Surrendering to my fate

Let things be for now

Save it for a later date

The camera snaps

Pointed to shoot

My session is over

Faded and mute

The Statistic
I can’t move today. Why is this cycle so vicious? Every potentially meaningful moment is promptly thrown away. Will I be a statistic?

Be A Truly Beautiful Woman!
A woman who holds no grudges is truly admirable in life. Show respect by embracing a past untold. Cultivate a noble spirit. Strive to be a woman with a serene face, a tranquil heart, and a simple, pleasant smile.

"I've always wanted to wander as we did this evening. From Coolum Beach to Noosa. Explore Hastings Street, then wander back. At our slow and steady pace, hand in hand," she said with gentle gratitude.
