Today’s Photo
I came across this awesome scene while shooting in Nashville. It was quite “Epic” in my book and I walked around and by numerous times before I decided to stop and shoot it. It took quite a long time to get it just the way I wanted it, but I think that it was worth the wait. I can’t tell you how many people walked in front of me…stopped…turned and said – “are we in your way?” – as usual I smiled and quietly said – no, no problem…and waited on them to view and move on.

Blinded by shadows lights lit the way
What Lurks beyond the wonders of today?
Casting stones I felt so alone
Your light shone
My path revealed
Would I follow?
Only Time would tell
The dawning of tomorrow
Looking out the waves begin to swell
Courage raging with the storming of the sea
Is this really my choice
Where is it that you want me to be?
Moonlight pierces the blinding night sky
Eerily I began to hear your heart cry
Spinning out of control the ship spun awry
The captain pushing we will not say goodbye
To quit is something he did not know
The crew he commands, let us prepare to stow
Looking up fist in rage
Is this now the becoming of your age?
Was he ready for this coming stage?
He felt as trapped as an animal in a cage
Looking left and then to right
straight ahead in to the night
He felt as light as if in flight
The angels wings spread in delight
bringing bright to this very night
Gasping his eyes awoke
Someones words then he heard spoke
Was this a dream coming to a halt?
And with that, again he locked his vault
