Aperture .. waiting for the right time

Aperture .. waiting for the right time

A Poem by Naomi Montana Walsh
"

I have always like that thought of the aperture.. that moment when the light gets inside and a picture can be taken

"

 


 

 

I look for the aperture

I wait for the opening

It will open and close again very quickly

but I will be there

I look for the aperture

that moment when light gets in and is trapped

the emaculate conception , epiphany.

That moment when the mind can catch an image.

The exact moment when things may be understood.

The aperture of enlightenment.

I wait as I do not wish to toss wisdom against walls

and I do not wish to make futile attempts at conversation

I want to speak when your mind is open

So, I wait for the aperture..

I really like the imagry, and how you describe that moment. I never really thought of it like that, and I must say I am intrigued right now.

~I want to speak when your mind is open
So, I wait for the aperture...~

I waited as long as i could, and finally I spoke anyway. Sometimes that is the only way to effect change, especially when waiting drags things out unnecessarily.

I enjoyed this...It's a very nice poem. Your poetry flowed really well here.
It felt like waiting on Inspiration only you put it in words. I love it.

A really great analogy of how life can be like taking a pic... sometimes timing is everything i what you say or do and if is off a little bit the picture is blurry or only half there... Very nicely done.
