Nigel Fawcett Poet Free verse

Lucky Souls

Fate takes two billion pairs of matched Souls
Mixes them up
And scatters them (randomly)
Across the face of this Earth

Like a mother and her baby
Each Soul knows the call of its Mate
But Fate's cruel hand
And twisted irony
Separates each Alpha from his Omega
Each Yin from her Yang

So, this World is filled with the keening of
Lost Souls
Unrequited Love
And Poetry

But Fate cannot bend Nature's laws
Some Lucky Souls fall close
To fulfill their sublime destiny
And a few Souls collide
As their paths and fortunes cross...

Chitra Lakhera January 13, 2009 at 3:28 AM Beautiful poetry Nigel!! Fate rules everything and I sincerely believe that, how lucky are the ones who fall close, whose paths cross. At least I'm not that lucky one..lol...but anyways, wishing much luck for you:) Love, Chitra

Carrie Richards January 12, 2009 at 6:16 PM It does almost seem like fate is playing this game of chance at times, just for the amusement of seeing what happens. Fortunately a few souls collide and succeed!! Hooray at least for that! ~ Interesting and thought provoking poem..well done! ~ Carrie

Sharon Winter January 12, 2009 at 4:49 PM Your philosophy rings true with me, as your poetry excels. I often feel like the luckiest soul in the world for that very reason. Wishing the same for you. Outstanding write! Love, Shar

Barbara Gorelick January 12, 2009 at 4:27 PM superb...I believe this is really the truth of things..You keep thinking..out of all these souls there has to be one that matches..sigh. BG

Robin L. Gass January 12, 2009 at 2:28 PM Nigel, I love this write. It explains everything so perfectly. What a creative and talented mind you possess to figure out why, when it comes to matters of the heart, things seem to work out the way they do. Well said! Love, Robin
