The Moment of Realization (e.g.)...

Only after it rains and a sweet, settled air blankets the woods
and dampens the usually crisp leaves and barking wildlife;

Only after the clouds’ exhaustion
and only a few remaining leaves tilt and dispose their cupped contents;

Only after the humid atmosphere turns brisk
and the winds are felt against the flank of every face;

And, only after a single daring, juvenile bird returns to song
and all remaining members of aves join the chorus…

Only after this fraction of a single observation does one recognize his or her role within the system of events that occur, that will occur with or without them, like clockwork.
