Are You Ready?
The journey lies before me
the adventure long beckoning
pointing its invoked finger
in a welcoming gesture
both exciting and heady
Are you ready?
The outer is stripped
of color and power
The glass I held upside down
now righted
is overflowing
making it easier to drink
with plenty left over
to water my gardens
and offer a refreshing sip
to travel-weary pilgrims
I meet along the way
Are you ready?
