An invitation extended today
tossed her back to a time when life was one big adventure.
It was more than thirty years ago
She was afforded this opportunity and gracefully accepted it.

Tonight she sits reminiscing:

She remembered how excited she was on that special day.
She imagined this would be the night
she would embark on her maiden voyage to the shore of maturity.
but as luck would have it, there was a major barrier.
This ship would not sail along this coast again.
It was destined for a land far away.

In spite of this knowledge,
she boarded the vessel with great anticipation.
The sailing smooth and pleasurable
But she knew she had to disembark.
One step further and it would have been too late.
There would have been no turning back.

As the years passed by
She wondered if she had made the right decision.
In her heart she knew she had.
Yet, the longing and the desire were always there.
And until tonight she never knew that this feeling was reciprocated.
She found out the dream had lingered with him in a strange sort of way.

Now she is faced with the opportunity once more-
To sail into the harbour of fulfillment,
To bring this dream to completion
Would she dare attempt that voyage again?
Could she step off her yacht even for a second?
What turbulence awaits her?
Can she weather the storm?
As appealing as this journey may seem
She is afraid it’s going to be a repeat of her maiden voyage.
