The Dream that Change his Life Writer’s Cramp |
The Dream that Change his Life Writer’s Cramp Sam Adams often reflected On the fairy tale nature of his true romance, Of the dream that changed his life Of the woman who became his wife. It all happens when Sam Was a young lad In Berkeley, California. He fell asleep In a boring class Saw the most beautiful woman In the whole universe Talking to him. He screamed out Who are you? She merely smiled And disappeared into the ether. For eight long years She appeared in his dreams He knew that someday He would meet and marry The lady of his dreams. Then one day He had the last of the dreams She said, “Don’t worry, we will meet soon” That night she walked off A bus and into his life On the date that he met his fate. And that was the rest of the story. Based on my true love story. On Oct 28, 312, Emperor Constantine won a battle at the Milvian Bridge against rival claimant Maxentius ... a turning point not only for the later Roman Empire, but for the entire history and culture of Late Antiquity, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and the modern era ... really, for all of the Western Civilization ever since. If you don't know about the battle, blame your high school and college history teachers. Also, read this book. For purposes of the Cramp, though... Write a story or poem about someone who has a vision or dream and is inspired thereby to do something significant they might not otherwise have attempted. (The better entries will set the stakes and show the hesitation beforehand to establish the dream as a key element in the turning-point choice.) |
