"Marching into April and thence into Maying"

Heyday A lifetime ago and a world away I used to never know but always say And I wish I knew then what I know tonight Though even tonight I hardly know anything If I could I would go back and make it right Fixing what I left by what I might bring Future to past anachronistically Maybe make it better in the presently Unfolding lotus of the situation Imperfect it might be but liberation By the pure potential of the bud in bloom Is manifesting now inexorably Blooming my maturity I am staying Marching into April and thence into Maying Straying along as imagination calls me The sacrifice consuming me as I consume Life's kisses as seducing it enthralls me I feel like life forgives me In spite of my not knowing much now or then Even as it outlives me Once is enough nor need I live again Only to live still simply to remain And though I suppose it could be arranged To rise and to return however changed All in all this present life is going well Plenty more of this parade to pass daresay A lifetime ago having struggled through hell My heaven will be here and now my heyday A lifetime ahead and a world underway +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
