At Exactly the Right Moment

At exactly the right moment
the dark shadows thin
and the sun inches upward, widening
as it gains momentum
brightening as it climbs
At exactly the right moment
shades of grey and green and gold move forward, revealing
lines and shapes and images of the world
around me, untouched
by the trio yoked to my soul; loss, loneliness, regret
- yet
At exactly the right moment
you are there
pushing aside the cloak of absolutes
in the early mist of daybreak
and for me
At exactly the right moment
A new day begins.
