I'm on it

I've watched a thousand sunsets,

wondering when my time would appear

and break onto the shore like a wave

powered by the hypnotic gaze of the moon.

Each fleeting moment left me waiting

sitting at the edge of a chance that seemed

to be just beyond my reach.

I just sit focused on the horizon

anticipating the dawn

breaking my concentration with the ushering of change.

The wind whispers the good news

and envelops me within a cloud of fog

as if to materialize into a figure and hug my body.

The earth sighs and I feel the swell in mother earth's belly.

Her smile is wide, stretching from the Bronx

all the way to Cavalry with singing her song of rejoice.

You are here.

You have come.

I am home.
