Love Weighs Souls, Says Both Hearts and God Above

Love Weighs Souls, Says Both Hearts And God Above They say that the human soul has no weight They that have not felt heavy hand of fate Shouting man is born but a fleshly shell And there is no heaven, there is no Hell The soul once broken sets a heavy load As many a crushed heart has showed We are more than what we see- skin and bones More than our chatter on our telephones! Soul in mourning bears the weight of the world Crushed by weight of boulders Fate hurled Within man rests that which cannot be seen Infinite depths not shown on any screen An invisible link- soul, heart and mind A unique force- a most passionate kind A seed sprouting in the soul to emerge That which becomes a very human urge! Look at life, the in-between set by Fate Soul connection, that lovers can relate Far more than a mere desire or a spell A power thus born- oft nothing can quell Yes, the invisible soul does have weight Its great power is it can alter Fate I should know that well, it did so with mine Freed both hearts, gave us love on which to dine Proof is in the pudding, or so they say We both have sworn love until our dying day As dawn's breath each golden beam brings anew That dearest paradise found by we two I thank God and willing soul when I pray With the sincerest words a man can say For that blessing of life and her sweet love Love weighs souls, says our hearts and God above.
