Snapshots

Snapshots



Sitting by calm riverside, adjusting the aperture,
As mind attests the perfect landscape to capture;

Taking few small leaps, not to leave a nuance,
He is fast ready to click a string in temerity;

Be it anything, a marrow or a barren,
His shoots whisper countless historic tales;

A flower's subtle bloom, or an old man's humility,
Nothing escapes his intense proclivity;

He awes by seizing sea's fierce turbulence,
Butterfly's flutter, through hues of sunlight;

Images of rivulets dancing to nature's melodic raga,
These picturesque snapshots will sing the saga !
