A Nice Photo

                    A Nice Photo

I thought it would make a nice photo;

a sailboat moored in the tide-flooded marsh,

accented and framed by deep green trees and vegetation.

 

But what really makes the image intriguing

is not what you see, but what you can’t see.

The backdrop of heavy fog is a curtain

that limits our vision to the present

and forces our attention to here and now.

 

We can only guess and surmise

what’s beyond this soft and opaque cloud.

 

It’s a nice photo, I think.
