“The earth has music for those who listen.” —William Shakespeare


I’m not ready

Not ready to look so far ahead

Not ready to set my future

Not ready to experience the world on my own


I’m not ready

Not ready to go forward

Not ready to be left behind

Not ready to be stuck in between


I’m not ready

Not ready to be alone

Not ready to be brave

Not ready to see which way I’ll be blown


I’m not ready

For many things it seems

But is anyone really ready

To go beyond the land of dreams?
