Frame Shot

Anyone can work a camera,
the ability to shoot and click.

It's another thing entirely
to find the shots no one takes.

The angle, to find beauty 
in the ordinary.

To look beyond the surface
and see the entire shot.

Ye we act the same way 
with people.
From mere acquaintances
to significant others.

To see the whole picture,
seeing beauty for what is beautiful.
Looking beyond the flaws
and nitpicking the weaknesses.

Ignoring those traits,
see the wonder beneath.
Sometimes it hides and it takes
a willingness to look for it.

To view it as a whole,
not picking apart the unwanted things.
To accept everything that is there,
for that is unconditional love.

It is required to see the raw beauty
without photo shopping,
seeing the perfect angle,
accepting your frame shot.
