Togetherness-to-go (Satis Shroff)

I live in a world of fleeting encounters,
And togetherness-to-go.
I observe such meetings
Through my own way of seeing things
And interpreting them.

What are the stories behind each person?
To me it's the moment that counts.
With a camera I catch fleeting moments
But with my eyes the small details.
The eye contact between people,
In moments of vulnerability,
When someone has received a terminal diagnosis,
Or a beloved person has left this world.
When tears roll down the cheeks,
Or moments of bliss and happiness
Between two people who've been long separated.
The contact and warmth of dear friends,
Even the empathy towards strangers
And to my own past.
