    FOCUS

     FOCUS

    You need to focus on you
    No.
    We all need a subject.
    An object;
    something to build around.

    A portrait is such a lonely picture.
    A self-portrait, much worse.

    Open the shutter
    and let in the light.
    The darkness surrounding you
    does nothing for your features.

    Blow it up.
    Warp it.
    Crop it, rotate
    It is still only you
    focusing on you
    while everything else

    fades.

    blurs.

    Mr. Cullen, this piece emits a powerful message. I like the simplicity and truth merged together. A good piece to read. Thank you for sharing it! God bless :))

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
