The Tidal Page

It was a water truck on the side of the road One of those you see at roadside construction sites. It happened to be a red one with big black letters that read WATER None of this would have mattered at all…had I not just read Dune had he… not suggested …that I read Dune I just would never have even seen the truck It would not have registered the banter in the car with my adorable children would have kept me chuckling and barely aware of anything but the road ahead but he did suggest it…and I did read it and then… I shed water for him…lots of water ...in his name and now here it was ...that truck … a symbol …a sign from the universe placed there …obviously just for me! telling me he was the one! My heart burst open and my soul flew out the window Across a field at the next turn was a flock of doves…one brilliant white one stood out from the rest they dipped and dove and always the brilliant white one was in the center the core the heart of the flock...and I...I was lost to my life as I had known it Swept away as if I and it were nothing more substantial than a shell on the shore longing for and awaiting the sea It was the Title page...of the next complex and painful chapter That page had but one word on it WATER (I stayed true but my heart and soul did get washed away in that chapter only to return again with the tides of time) 2016-7-7 Something Seemingly Insignificant and Unexpected Changed My Life - Poetry Contest
