The feeling of reading my work

I'm pacing back and forth.

A little anxious to leave, but mostly excited to start.

The place I'm heading to is full of creative souls

So I'm hoping I'll feel right at home.

When I'm there 

I wander in and out, admiring what's around. 

Then it's my turn

a breath, a pause,

I'm up there and a bit caught off guard. 

But when I begin to read, it happens so naturally 

And in that quiet unfolding, 

I know this is precisely where I'm supposed to be.
