lorrainecregar submitted a contest entry to Write a poem about a dream (or goal) that came true 1 months ago
Journey
Has it really been thirty years
since that first trip to the Bahamas?
Since I had to white-knuckle
turbulent skies and roiling seas?
Wasn’t I afraid to make such
a journey alone?Did I expect my singlehood to be
satisfied by the billions of
stars in the night sky?
Or by that diamond tennis bracelet
I purchased, no longer in style?Did I think my loneliness would
be relieved by my friend, Tom Clancy?
Or maybe by the stateroom upgrade I
was offered as a first-time cruiser?Was it desperation that led to
sex with a stranger I picked up
among the pulsing and gyrating
of the disco?It was courage.

Lorraine, I love this! Your courage is so admirable and I am so glad that you got to experience things that you wouldn’t have normally done if it weren’t for that! Spontaneous events are often the most memorable… clearly they were fro you ♥ Great work
