Expressions are vital
When life seem to stand still
When the mind still moves forward
And your feet follow until
There is an exhibition outside
In a neighbourhood without neighbours
Photographs thrown to the wall
Of an abandoned factory
There are emotions caught
Trapped to the moment

Snap
Snap
Blink
And it’s gone

Usually
But here
Treasured to the photographs
In this exhibition
Without audience
People just walking by
The exhibition is there
But who takes notice?
People won’t recognise beauty
Unless they have to pay for it
Beauty isn’t for free

Snap
Snap
Blink
Never been seen

It’s a private exhibition
Outside in the cold
Culture shouldn’t be for free
But when everything is closed
Alternatives are needed
Beauty is always out there
Also in your neighbourhood
You just need to see
With open eyes
And an open mind.
