The Right Now

A candle in every window.

I’ve been waiting 
A long time.

Gathering friendships
And mastering skills.

Astrological charts
Point to this set of moon cycles.

Upheaval and loss of power
Usher real and present change.

Discontent and disillusionment
Have surrendered.

They took hope and ease with them
On their way down.

First there was grieving
And recalibrating my cells.

And now a spark.
Just at its beginning.

Is this the Right Now?
The flame I’ve been waiting for?

I will softly hold space
And allow it to breathe a moment.

Let my mama bear
Sleep until she is needed.

Is there a spark waking in you too?
Can you feel the others?

A candle lit in every window
As the darkness of night begins.
