Writer's Cramp contest entry 220702
Once, to own my own,
Asked to make address,
An honor demanding sacrifice,
I rose, walked to the stage,
In anguish to assuage,
Revelation came to me.

On the scales of infinite time,
A moment doesn't exist,
The movement of wind, illusion.
I lifted my head and cried, "I'm here!"
For there was nothing to fear,
In the hands of eternity.

Courage became a flame,
Burning steady, hot, and bright,
No breeze to force its flutter.
My thoughts bore words one by one,
My soul stood open to the sun,
And soared among the stars.
