Every shirt neatly folded,
every sock pair matched,
and now all my bags sit in a corner.

Every breath heavy,
every silent second vibrating
beneath my skin, this evening.

Two events scheduled
and my head rolls in anticipation
of bewildering trepidation.

Still so scared, as I sit,
as I wait to fulfill my promise
uncertain of why I'm going.

Fear of the finality
as I place the dream, fantasy, illusion
up to the cold light of reality.

"I will go," I repeat.
I will be witness to what is
and what is not, but I go, either way.

Bags in the corner,
packed a day too early
because of my impatience and uncertainty.

I continue to sit here
and breathe every minute
as I wait for the trip to begin.

i can feel

the anticipation.

Like a bouncing leg, or pacing the floor.

Well done

( and I hope your trip is all you hope it will be)
