ready or not

it inched closer
you whispered ’i’m not ready’
it breathed upon the back of your neck
you sighed ’i’m not ready’
it tried to touch you
you whined ‘but i’m not ready’
it tried to hold you
you screamed ‘i am not ready’

so you walked ran plundered blundered toiled fought and fraught
until one day
you stopped

and you turned to face it
and you smiled your beaming heart smile crying out ‘I Am Ready’

but it was gone.
