A silent gift

Two images that may seem a world apart
A chasm between art and reality

From structure to the unexplainable beauty of nature
From man made to more-than-human spaces

The orange glow not quite reaching down the hallway
Yet lighting up the clouds from below

The uplights and downlights
Creating static shadow shapes

The diminishing grandeur of the day
A heartbeat and the colour changes

The annoying pattern of dark carpet squares
A faulty facsimile of randomness in nature

The closed doors and enclosed space
To infinite blue and saltwater edges

And yet all I had to do was walk the hallway
Lift the lens and pause, a silent gift given
