"In that room"

In that room, I saw a reflection of a man that I could become, that I wanted to be. A man stood upon the foundation of his self-constructed principles and the ashes of his bygone strife. A vision of a future that I had lost sight of not long ago. An accreted inner peace, born out of a lifetime of sleeplessness and restlessness, imbued the scene. What I viewed in the briefest of moments was a world won, a distance finally crossed. In that room, I caressed the bright plumage of hope and felt the cooling of a sun-lashed earth, the restful evening I have longed for finally come.
