back to Carl Sandburg

“Be Ready” by Carl Sandburg 🇺🇸 (6 Jan 1878 – 22 Jul 1967)
Be land ready
for you shall go back to land.
​
Be sea ready
for you have been nine-tenths water
and the salt taste shall cling to your mouth.
​
Be sky ready
for air, air, has been so needful to you—
you shall go back, back to the sky.
