When the First Light Breaks

The air is washed clean, sweet with rain’s farewell
Clouds drift apart like curtains undone
And there, between the folds of silver sky
A golden seam glows, stretching wide
The first light spills over the edges of the world
Touching everything as if in blessing

You step into the hush that follows the storm
The earth beneath you soft but strong
Leaves glisten with jewels of morning
Each drop a tiny mirror of the sky
And in their shimmer you see yourself
Whole, unbroken, quietly transformed

The path ahead feels different now
Not because it is free of challenge
But because you walk it with lighter hands
The weight has fallen away like an old cloak
And every step feels like a promise
To honor the life that waited for this moment

You can almost hear the turning of the wheel
The click of destiny falling into place
Flowers begin to open where none had grown
New voices call from beyond the horizon
And you answer without fear
Knowing they are meant for you

This is the magic made visible
The proof that the universe keeps its word
That the rain was not a hindrance
But the very thing that made the blossoms possible
And as the sun warms your skin
You know you are exactly where you are meant to be
