THE LOOK THAT EXPLAINS LIFE

There are lots of people whom you meet
But all you forget after you greet.
Only few you keep in heart and mind
As they have what can your fond heart bind.

People are mere victims in this life,
Grief and danger in it full and rife.
Only few have looks that go so deep
Summing up all life in just one peep.

They don't need to send a message loud;
They just look or act and you are bound
To get all the gist of life on earth
With all its sad fate and dreary dearth.

They move deep emotions that you have
And the deepest sighs in your chest heave.
They tell you a story through one look;
Little gist of it can fill a book.
