here stands the man

Here stands the man I have been wanting to meet. 

His hands clasped before him, solemn in poise and position.

His expression, unmetered, and his disposition, unwavered.

I’d worked my way for so long to be here.

Yet, once the spell of euphoria elapsed.

He stood, stagnant.

I couldn’t help but stop to think, “Is this it?”
