Poem

Today, I am taken back to the time
I set off on a particular journey 
The day's news and weather reports keeping me focused on the road ahead,
I prayed incessantly, that I would arrive at my destination intact

The roads were crystal clear on this cold, January night
Bumper-to-bumper traffic clogged every lane
I clenched the steering wheel in my tightest death grip
But that wasn't what phased me
What phased me was
My off-the-charts anticipation
The violent pounding of my heart
And the nervous excitement making my hands sweat

City after city, I had to consciously redirect my attention to the road
And when I arrived, you met me with a warm embrace 
The reality of my being there took a few minutes to sink in
Finally, after months of waiting 
And many years of wondering
We shared a couple of precious hours...
Alone
My reluctance to leave was evident 
A mere glance at the clock on the nightstand reminded me, and before long, 
I was blissfully back on that highway, 
Floating all the way home on Cloud 9

Today, like many days, I recalled the events of that unforgetable winter's night
The unknown territory I'd travelled
The certainty I'd felt 
And the truth that I would forever be a changed woman 
A woman that finally felt beautiful in someone else's eyes
