The Producer
I create fantasy for a living
And the camera only sees
What I want it to see
Sometimes it takes a lot to create
Sometimes very little
At all times
It starts and ends with a good idea
But when the day is done
And all the equipment is packed
As the crew is heading out -
I get time to reflect
That reflection was captured in a picture recently
On the back of a beautiful boat
Screaming across the Gulf of Mexico at sunset
Another day complete
I so know exactly who and what I was thinking about
At the moment that picture was taken
And although I didn’t realize there was a camera there
I’m very happy to have the moment now - forever
Because it was a beautiful thought
About how lucky I was
To be where I was
Doing what I wanted to be doing
And although part of me felt very alone
Sitting on the stern of that powerful boat
I was at the same time fulfilled
Just seeing a beautiful sunset
Thinking about a special person
And being thankful for all that I have been given
Producing life can be great too
