When souls meet, <br />Beauty of face does not matter, <br />For beauty, for sure, <br />Is in the eye of the beholder, <br />And love changes our eyes, <br />Making us blind to all <br />But what our souls can see, <br />To what our hearts perceive, <br />To what our minds understand <br />As our reality. <br /> <br />In life, <br />Where death is a very real possibility, <br />We wait, <br />And we wait, <br />To grab that slice of life <br />That leads to love, ever after, <br />If love comes along. <br /> <br />We look at this one, <br />And say, 'How lovely! ' <br />Or we see that one, <br />And say, 'Handsome as a Greek God! ! ' <br /> <br />But we cannot see <br />The darkness that resides, <br />Soul deep. <br /> <br />Maybe, just maybe, <br />We allow the ugly ones <br />To walk on by, <br />Failing to see the beauty <br />That shines from the light <br />Of the soul... <br /> <br />But, if we are the few <br />That Fortune favors, <br />And if our time has come, <br />If love comes along, <br />Soul will meet soul - - <br />And find its home. <br /> <br />Scarlett Treat <br />September 22,2008<br /><br />Scarlett Treat<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-love-comes-along/
