Can you photograph a moment,
Just one moment at a time,
Can you capture all its essence,
All its lustre and its shine,
*
Can you bottle every second,
Catch emotions as they fall,
Can you drink until you’re sated,
And not drown amidst the squall,
*
Can you savour every minute,
Taste its spice upon your tongue,
Can you sample every flavour,
And know when each begun.
