Are You Ready?

By Gunslinger

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Are you out there waiting for me-Over on the Great Divide?Mounted on your sorrel filly,With your gear packed up to ride?Will you help me chase a rainbow?Hook your wagon to a star?Sleep beside me on the prairie-'Neath a canopy of stars.Are you ready to go 'yondering'?To see what we may see?Pushing onward, ever wandering-Just my true love and me-To spread your blankets beside mine-And on the prairie lie...Where clover spreads a bier so green,Upon us when we die?
