Caught in the Sunset

Capturing the moment

The sounds from the TV faded
Just as my gaze drifted
An immediate reaction
There can be no deflection
The sun caught my eyes
Through the window blinds
The sign I was waiting for
I tried to stall
My favourite TV show was on
But it became dull
The moment I enjoyed before
Lost in the charm of the Sun
Now I must move on

I picked up my phone
The sunset started fading
I was taken
A picture to call my own.
Out the door I ran
Phone in hand
As the time ran
I set the timer
Placed the phone on the ground
The sunset behind me
The whole world behind me
With no one around
I saw the flash
But I wasn't ready
So I made a dash
The picture taken already

I set the timer
Placed the phone on the ground
The sunset behind me
The whole world behind me
With no one around
This time I was ready

My hands by my side
My face turned left
A posture I like
On the roof is a cleft
It made me smile
A cleft made during childhood adventures
The broken asbestos
It made me smile

I saw the flash
So I made a dash
I knew I got it right
Now i'll have something to write
Phone in hand
I saw the picture
In it I stood
The whole world behind me
The sunset behind me
It was good
No, perfect!

I ran back to the house
Like a mouse
Chased by a cat
Phone in hand
Nearly tripping on the door mat
Now I must write
A befitting title
It must be right
A meaning title
Caught in the Sunset
The moment I enjoy now
Lost in the charm of the Sun
It made me smile.
