The Dream Epiphany That Changed Everything

the Dream Epiphany that changed everything 

One day I had a dream
An epiphany of sorts
That changed my life forever.

I  fell asleep in a high school class
In Berkeley, California
And saw the most beautiful woman
In the world talking to me.

I yelled out 
“Who are you?”
She merely smiled 
With love blazing 
From her jet-black eyes.

I knew that 
I would met
And marry that girl.

It was his karmic fate
For I knew her 
In my prior life
She was my eternal soul mate.

For eight years I had the dream
Joined the Peace Corps
To travel to Korea
Where I knew 
She was waiting for me.

Then one day
When I had to leave
Abandoning my mad quest,
I had the last dream.

She said
“Don’t worry
We will meet soon”.

That night she walked 
Off the bus
Into my life.

In one moment
I had an epiphany
Knowing that my life
Had changed forever.

We married six weeks later
And remained together
For over 40 years.

Every day I think 
Of the dream epiphany
That changed my life.

Based on true story.

This is a beautiful poem. It deserves POTD or POTW. But I think there's an error in stanza 4 line 2. Nice Poem.

Wow! Twin flame rather than soul mate, I’d say.
