Souls


When souls meet  you can feel the heat
of past sparks which flew
before time and they themselves knew

There's a flicker in the eyes
awakening alive
that which had slept
when hearts hadn't yet met

Gentle whispers unspoken
once long ago enlivened
softly brings to memory
images of you and me

A pulsating warmth
when hands met
so familiar
the healing touch
remembered together
comforting and deep

Choose now to recognize
or let the past lay
for tomorrow may be long
and the day be finally gone

When souls meet you can feel the heat
of past sparks which flew
before time and they themselves knew.


E.M.L.

in the twists of time
she was never mine
but I knew what she
would have meant to me

I wrote a poem many years ago which had as its premise that in this cosmos there are two people who already knew each other, and it is merely on a chance meeting that they fell this and thereby two souls blend with the other and we call it love.

Your poem says basically the sane thing, except on a much higher plane.

~~ "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent. It is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." --George Washington ~~
