Warm winds blow on the dry grasses, spreading seeds on parched ground

The thin clouds lightly veil the sun’s rays

In the distance, antelope quietly graze

Trains speed by carrying anonymous goods to anonymous people

Desiree stands with her hair blowing in the wind, camera to her eye

I kneel in the weeds next to a pile of broken wood and chunks of rusted metal

I see life happen through the 50mm glass of my lens

Matt reaches out and softly touches Corey

Their baby boy growing inside of her

I hear the shutter of Desiree’s camera open and close

Corey smiles as her eyes meet Matt’s

He leans in and kisses her

Again, their eyes meet

A semi passes behind us, the roar of it’s breaking engine cutting through the quiet

The sun comes out from behind it’s veil again

The day continues
