This is my moment
It belongs to me entirely
An audience of one in a box seat
Rocking through the last of the darkness
As silence surrenders to chatter and buzz,
Cows and birds and dogs signaling a
New power rising to command us all
To return to the tasks from which
We make a life - but not yet
Not until this moment has been
And reminded me
I belong to it entirely
