The Missing One ~ Word Traveling

Word Traveling

The Missing One

written for the November poem a day challenge

Thanks, De for always inspiring me with your words. Please check out De’s amazing blog of poetic ponderings here.

The Missing One

poem- the missing one

Eleven thousand dollars.

contained our Spanish bank account

yet our hearts were empty.

Hopeless-

it wasn’t as planned

we were missing ONE.

It should read

one hundred eleven thousand dollars

to carry us-

you, me and baby

across countless dreams

thirty-five thousand kilometers

eight months

six countries

one foreign continent.

Funds failed.

Sure defeat in sight.

Desperate for that ONE.

We knocked,

softly at first.

He said he would appear-

a little louder.

He did!

Pounding on the door!

Fully-funded our depleted souls

unlimited securities and trust.

We were carried

By that ONE.

Him.

Ten years later-

the bank account is still full.

I dream countless dreams,

sing and pen more than thirty-five thousand hope words

twelve months

seven days a week

One familiar word.

ONE.

 

 

Buen Viaje! ~Jen
