There is a faint shadow,
on the back of my bedroom door.

As I lay here,
a flickering movement in the shadow catches my eye.

It's spectacular,
I know what it is.

A personal home movie,
but one not caught on tape.

Merely captured at this rare moment,
and archived in my mind.

It's a movie of the squirrel,
who lives in my back yard.

He is getting ready for the winter,
tail high and twitching, eating his breakfast.

A never forgotten small piece of an absolute beautiful moment in time,
captured in a shadow on the back of my door and stored in my mind.

I love those movies, too!  Or sometimes
there is the treat of the still life, a
group of people in conversation perhaps,
cast through the rosebushes...how they
follow the light as it moves.  
Wonderful treasure!

Thank you for your response.  I too agree that there are treasures in the still life as well.  Beauty has many forms.  lisa
