Written In the Stars (Inspired by the movie “Winter’s Tale)

After watching a movie entitled “Winter’s Tale”, my muse prompted me to compose a poem about immortal love and reincarnation, the search for the One True Miracle. Have you found your One True Miracle?

 

They say for each person

There is a certain Miracle from within

And you are meant to be just for one person

As time draws to a close to meeting the One,

The Universe and your Spirit Guides are on your side

To help you fulfill your One True Destiny.

 

It’s written in the stars

And before you know it, I am coming to hold your hand

You may not know now but soon you’ll get it somehow

I may have bumped into you along life’s journey,

But you were too preoccupied with your own story

That you didn’t notice me passing you by.

 

If in this life, we have to say goodbye

As my soul reincarnates, I’ll meet you again in the next,

When our eyes lock as we cross our paths once more

You will know in your heart that it was me " your Destiny,

Just look at the stars on a beautiful night such as this

And know that the time is near to feel eternal bliss.

 

It’s written in the stars

For even when True Love is lost,

Your soul will bleed for a meaning in your life

But though the inevitable happens, searching for your One True Destiny remains

If we are yet to discover our One True Miracle,

Even time may defeat itself in order for you to see me in another lifetime.

Ah, only a romantic soul could pen something as dreamy like this. The words, the tone and the rhythm have calming and soothing-effect on me. Perhaps, finding that One true love is like the water in the river which will always finds its way to the ocean. The last line is a stunner and the idea of time defeating itself is something that lingers in my mind. Thank you for sharing this.

I am glad I made you swoon again, Gab :) Have you seen the movie "Winter's Tale"? That is a wonderful movie based on a novel by Mark Helprin. I am sure you would love it and this poem was inspired by that film.
