Photoluminescence

To photograph
Is to paint with light
An infinitesimal
Fraction of a moment.
Before the shutter closes
The earth has spun on.
Before a leaf moves
An image is the past.
To try to capture light
Is to try to capture life,
Each moment gone
Before a heart can beat.
An album of instants,
A library of seconds,
A lifetime of minutes,
The vanity of art.
