The 10% Battery

Notice of absence from lilmoonxx
Hii!! I will be offline for about 2 weeks. Trying to manage everything is a bit overwhelming. I should be back on time.

Phone’s on red, but I’m still recording,

afraid if I stop, I’ll lose the feeling.

My storage is full of blurry videos

of a night I’ll probably never forget,

even if the screen goes black

before the last song ends.

    A most identifiable poem of trying to preserve the moment for latter. Most all of us at one time or another have recorded or at least taken pictures of an event and then I ask myself how often do I go back and watch it. The idea of the battery being on red gives it urgency of whether something will be lost but memories continue whether recorded or not. Well done

    Are you one oof those people who lights up their phone in the middle of a performance?? Oh well, it probably wasn't a symphony concert.....
