Let old desires start to fade, As new awareness is remade. You are you, no need to hide, Just a new way to see inside. A higher self begins to bloom, Chasing away all doubt and gloom. Let wants go, a clear mind take flight, To know yourself, and see the pure light. The universe within, a wondrous art, To merge with all, and play your true part. One eternal soul, where all things reside, This is the Truth, nowhere left to hide.

Not staged or planned, your shots ignite, But from the heart, a pure delight.   No fake pretense, no painted scene, Just life itself, a vivid dream. Your camera's eye, a honest friend, Revealing truths that never end.   From crowded streets to quiet lands, You hold our stories in your hands.
