Blessings On Film Poem by Amera Andersen

Uncharted seas of open mind
I captured the soul of the Earth
A cameras’ eye has now enshrined
With glorious beauty and worth

I captured the soul of the Earth
As skies touched the face of the sea
With glorious beauty and worth
Blessing my life, abundantly

As skies touched the face of the sea
With loving arms ‘round flowing waves
Blessing my life, abundantly
For the shutter of mind engraves

With loving arms ‘round flowing waves
A power and strength from above
For the shutter of mind engraves
On film I have captured the love

A power and strength from above
A cameras’ eye has now enshrined
On film I have captured the love
Uncharted seas of open mind
