The Miracle on Lonely Street By: J.L. Jacobs © 2013

This poem is about someone who feels alone and bereft, and then bumps into someone who ultimately becomes their soulmate.

I walk along this lonely street, does it even have a name? I look all around me but only the shadows remain. Seeing life through a tainted heart sure makes everything so gray. So alone in life, where to start? I'm still searching for a way. But life goes on no matter what, that's one fact I cannot quell. Memories never forgotten, in my heart they shall dwell. So I walk along this lonely street, still searching for a way. Wishing to have just one person to tell me it will be okay. While walking down the lonely road, my head is looking down. I bump into a smiling face, which has me quite spellbound. He opens his arms to pull me in and hugs me ever so tight. This man is a stranger to me, and yet it felt so right. He runs his fingers through my hair, and gently kissed my head. I read about fairy tales in many a book but now it's my reality instead. We walk along this lonely street; the sun begins to shine. I find my eyes looking at him, and he is looking into mine. Even with such a tainted heart, I find the will to believe, this road will lead to my happy ending which will definitely be well received. Many years later we tell our kids about the miracle on Lonely Street. This is the story of how soulmates met, and now my loneliness is obsolete.
