After years of spiritual work,
\nhe began seeing the light inside
\npeople\u2019s souls.<\/p>\n
Some were brighter than others,
\nlike father Morgan, his parish priest,
\nwhose soul was a radiant white.<\/p>\n
The light in some souls was barely visible,
\nlike the man on the TV news who\u2019d been arrested
\nfor robbing the First National Bank.<\/p>\n
One day a beautiful woman smiled at him
\nin a way that was like a flirtation.<\/p>\n
But he saw only darkness in her soul;
\nsomething he hadn\u2019t seen before,<\/p>\n
and he got an eerie feeling
\nthat prevented him from smiling back at her.<\/p>\n
At first, he didn’t understand the full meaning
\nof her soul\u2019s disturbing darkness
\nuntil he saw a documentary about serial killers,
\nwho had the same darkness in their souls.<\/p>\n
He heard the beautiful woman\u2019s husband had
\nrecently died of natural causes at age 38.<\/p>\n
From what he saw in her soul, he knew better.<\/p>\n
