I spent several moments in Lake Gatun,
Looking up to the starry sky alone,
As others began to gather around the water and come in,
I find myself again expressing thoughts to stranger and friend,
“I look up at the sky and like the stars,
I realize we are in a unique moment,
if not just for that varying point in time,
and with a camera for an eye I captured the image of the stars,
as I have captured an image of you,
Held together for a brief moment,
By the powers of the Universe,
Stars and people,
With the only difference,
Our life is faster and shorter in essence,
But sometimes the same in a moment.”
