Time parted like a curtain
revealing landscapes I had not earned yet
mountains still under construction
sunlight waiting in raw gold
Each step redrew the horizon
Future shifted its architecture
to match the shape of my becoming
My shadow stretched forward as if greeting royalty
Air shimmered in reverence
Even possibility held its breath
I felt destinies kneel—
not to worship
to welcome
When I reached the ridge
the future bowed
quietly inevitably
as if it always knew I would come
