Love For Movie Screens
*Fiction/For Contest
They sat in the ice cream shop, sharing their favorite ice cream
Sweet on their lips, sweet as their love, that brightened the place
They smiled and laughed with ice cream sprinkles on their faces
Their sensitive love had blossomed many years ago, ready for a life time
They were meant for each other, complimenting each other in every way
They walked outside into the heat of the sun and got in their convertible
For a ride to the country, where they would spread their blanket on the hill
Their special place, where they first confessed their love to one another
They traveled as the music played in the flowing air, one hand in the other
As they went around the corner, suddenly there was a truck in their lane
Heading straight at them, within seconds, the crash of a life time happened
He woke from a daze, with his future wife laying on him covered crimson red
His own life flashed before him like a film and before he knew it, she was dead
His dreams lay shattered in bent metal and broken glass all around
As he wondered, if anything would be different if he had not held her hand?
He had only been holding the wheel with one hand, that’s all he could think
Then his reasoning took over and he knew there was no time for him to react
The only time he had now was to return to their hill and weep tears of grief
Flowing through the grass, knowing that he what he lost, he would never have
He picked a flower and plucked petals that he handed to the blowing wind
He knew that he never wanted to think of ice cream or that shop again
Then one day, she magically returned and appeared with light in his dreams
Her words reached him like a song, “Everything will be ok, in the light of your life”
It was then, he knew that he could still find happiness, as he embraced a new day
He would hold this dream until they meet again, for now he had a life to finish
--- Just as she would want it to be ---
