I want to slip away and hide

in a still dark night

and be a shadow.

Watch the world

and from afar observe.

I will record what others live

with pen and lens.

I’ll be a breath upon the scene

and slip away unknown.

A stealthy thief of stories

Bathed in the camouflage

Of bravest face

And will of steel.

    Yes, that is how many of us record a fleeting moment in another’s life (animal or human). We try to slip in like a soft breeze and retreat unnoticed with our prize.
