Technology Fail!
We all have those moments when we fail. Later on we see the funny side of the experience. What I saw in the night light was truly beautiful. But it remains only in the memory. Our cultural compulsion to capture the rapture was unfulfilled. Perhaps I was being taught to savour the moment and to not focus on recording it for posterity. I’ve attached the dodgy photos for the ‘cringe factor’.
Technology Fail!
On a recent rainy night,
A glow of vibrant orange streetlight
Shone
Through
The leafy canopy
Of a rain-soaked tree.
Vision
Strained through
The dropping drizzle,
Beheld
The amber-esque event.
Exquisite moment
In the night light.
Like any haplessly compulsive modern:
Have smartphone
Will have pic!
But
Alas,
Technology fail.
The photo was…
A blur of mist.
So
I convey
A moment in memory
No longer for display.
