Switch lenses:
my perspective is blurry,
I can't seem to find the proper focus,
that push or reassurance I need to keep going.
Change batteries:
my hope is dying,
I don't seem to connect anymore,
with the love and compassion that carried me through my troubles.
Maybe a whole new camera:
a whole new outlook on life,
a new guardian,
a new keeper,
a new connection with the One Above.
The One that truly is:
the lens,
the focus,
the camera.
