Instant Knowing
she remembered him as soon as their eyes met
he began walking toward her; they met in the middle
the rest of the room disappeared, nothing else mattered
she smiled at her life mate, recognizing without knowing how
he smiled, for his dreams had been all about this pretty face
the rest of the speed daters wondered what had happened
for without another word, these two walked out,
not following any rules, and not caring in the least
the host was yelling instructions but they did not hear
he asked if he could take her hand, and she laughed
complete the second his skin touched hers,
knowing him without knowing how she knew
theirs was a soul connection
picked up lifetime after lifetime
different bodies, but always the same instant recognition.
