I was there

I was there when the light came on. Laying in my bed, staring out the window. I was there. Gazing at nothing in particular, and letting my mind wander to wherever it pleased. I saw it happen, I was there. Suddenly something changed. It wasn't so dark anymore. Right there, beyond the edge of my vision, a circle of light was growing. I looked at it. It was the light from a streetlamp. Faint, white light gleamed out. It took on a yellowish hue, and got brighter, stronger. I did not blink, I wanted to see each second of this steadfast transformation. In moments it was done. A Streetlamp was born.
