A camera can’t capture
There are some things
A lens can’t hold
Some things
Are left for eyes only
You gasp and fumble for your camera
Trying to focus in on the beauty
A snowflake, fluttering towards the ground,
A ray of sunshine, golden and bright,
A perfect red leaf you just found,
The silver moon’s friendly light,
A two-year-old’s gleeful giggle,
An icecicle’s rainbow glint,
A puppy’s happy wiggle,
A wet sand footprint,
Frozen breath in the cold
Swirling away on the air,
A sparkling carousel
At a summer fair
You wistfully sigh as you look at the photos.
Such wonderful moments, gone forever.
The snowflake didn’t get in the picture frame,
The ray of sunshine looks fake and slick,
The bright red leaf has lost its flame,
The moon is just a blurry pinprick.
The two-year-old’s laugh is fuzzy smile,
The icecicle’s lost its rainbow shine,
The puppy is a hazy golden blob,
The footprint has a barely visisble outline.
The frozen breath doesn’t show up at all,
The carousel is a brightly light wall.
There are some things
A camera can’t capture
There are some things
A lens can’t hold
Some things
Are left for eyes only
Pictures are good for capturing memories,
But sometimes,
Eyes are good enough.
