It's Only Time

A poem I once wrote ended with the line, “it’s only time when you’re ready.” 

Let’s work the emphasis.

It’s only time when you’re ready.
          It’s only time when you’re ready. 
                     It’s only time when you’re ready.
                               It’s only time when you’re ready.
                                         It’s only time when you’re ready.

Doesn’t matter how long it took you to arrive at your destination.
Doesn’t matter what you went through to get ready.
Doesn’t matter what time of day or month or which season it is. 
Doesn't matter what age or generation of life you are in. 
Doesn’t matter who says you are when you're not 
or who says you're not when you are.
Doesn’t matter why you went through what you did
or how you got here or wherever you are 
when you discover that you are. 
Doesn’t matter which word you put the emphasis on,
or if you put it on none.

All that matters is 
that you know
that you know
that you know
that you’re Ready. Set. Go.

Go!
