Photographs lens, a captured sight.
One creates with a vivid grace,
The other freezes, in every place.

One imagines with an open hand,
The other holds, across the land.

The other shows, every part.

Photographs, where memories dwell.

In their capture, hearts appease.

Moments cherished, time and space.
