I've found, that the world looks different through a camera.
The glass lens, making the world look magical.
A single, perfect moment, caught in forever.
A happy smile, holding the pieces together.
Intuition, flashing in their eyes.
Pain showing, but trying not to cry.
Places seen, that seem different than before.
Love fighting, thoughts of scorn.
I have found, that things look different through a camera.
A sometimes, you can only notice somethings.
Through a lens of life.

Very nice! It made me think about the ways of life and how a  camera captures it all in a series of photos. Very unique!
