Capture Love

A drawing of plants, a little guy, and a pen

Alison Heas

I cannot capture on paper the macabre or the gray
Nor the wan expressions of a gloomy day
My pen can’t describe in words the pain
That a ravaged soul pours out like rain
And I can’t draw a picture of the darkness inside
Where insecurity, fear and doubt try to hide
Let me express the wonders of love
The infinite heavens and stars above
The subtle look in a mother’s eyes
And that warm embrace when her baby cries.
For I cannot capture on paper the fate
Of the lost souls that harbor hate
Nor the evil thoughts buried below
Where the seeds of evil start to grow
Just let me express the wonders of love
And the saving grace from God above.
