Freedom to See
She holds her camera high
and defies the rules of photography –
Rules of thirds
Rules of composition
Rules of aperture, and focus, and light
She holds her camera high
and declares that she will follow
her own rules
Rules that find beauty in the mundane
and wonder in the ordinary
Rules that show heroes on street corners
and angels in sneakers
Rules that shine light in the shadows

Early Morning Snapshot
There was just a slight film
Of ice on the birdbath
Evidence of exposure to
A cold snap overnight
From the fog covered window
of my dark room I wipe a
small aperture from which
to view the depth of the field
beyond the fence
as I watch a cardinal bursts from
the bare branches of an
old oak tree in a flash of red
