Morning Watch

Poetry · May 2025 · Sandy Shugart
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
