Footprints to soul 26.08.10
==========================================================
People say
Faces tell stories
Stories of soul
Sometimes they do
Sometimes they don’t
Some placid faces
Hide darkest souls
Some calm appearances
Often hide potholes
They don’t always talk.

Sometimes we have to feel
Look beyond the eyes
To feel the person
To feel his total self
Looking beyond
His calm eyes, smiling face
They often leave footprints
Leading to the soul
But they are covered in mist
Makes it so easy to get lost..

======================================================

Faces don’t always mirror
Deepest thoughts
But if you see
Very, very keenly
They almost always
Reflect the soul
The true character
That is hidden inside.

That sudden flicker in eyes
When one hears something
That sudden grimace
Sudden twist in face
Which disappears
But leaves the trails
Trails which lead
Us to the soul.
