Day 77 - Ready or Not

in #poetry8 years ago

Ready or Not

Ready or not here I come…
For some reason it was the sentence that brought joy to little ones
The cheerfulness fully expressed on their ever-widening smile
The complete absence of fear, worry, anxiety and responsibility
How does one experience such merriment with freedom so pure?

Ready or not here I come….
Does nothing but regards a straight face with a sarcastic look from me?
Grow up I say in my head…and just maybe, I am required to grow younger
The secret to living a full life may not be in the future like I am led to believe
Why then do I have so many fond childhood memories and few in recent years?

Ready or not here I come….
The same line told all by life signaling the end of the trail run of his commodity
To continue to enjoy this service, choose a unit amongst a variety of packaged offers
Premium, professional, all access… like all else, you pay for the subscription you can afford
Inducing the fear of a lower subscription and the need for a better deal of cards

Ready or not here I come…
The perfect catch phrase to smugly throw at my dreams and aspirations
Yet, I sit in my office, I stand in the classroom, I sit at home, I lie in bed, I sit driving
Only to occasionally stare through the air peering through time looking for my shine
The shine this little one is embodied and engraved with… I need to age backwards

You wouldn't believe what happened to me. It sounds unbelievable even to me in our day and age. My internet problems escalated about two week ago. With unpredictable sprouts of reception, I have been offline and unreachable for this period. I have finally gotten a replacement and I hope and intend to be consistent now. I can only say I'm back if I'm allowed back in. I missed Steemit and the poetry challenge a lot.
