The Time of My Life for Vikkie Essex I am taking my time as time will allow In the canyon of time where the river runs through it Here between the mountains of the future and the past To be and to do by the river of the now With my own way to do it with maybe something to it Maybe so or maybe then again maybe not But being and seeing what to do I do it To leave the river better for my being than it was Or maybe not and being I would be no matter what But because I am what is I might as well do what does Where the moment is the meaning within the in betweening Having learned how now is not the time to hesitate Not the time to hurry nor to wait not too late Nor too early but the paradigm of being right on time In the turning of the river I return to the sea Of always now or never where it turns into forever Turning there from what I know into what I believe can be The river flows past me not too slow and not too fast As always a new river as always a new me Here between the mountains of the future and the past And now is the right time for me to be because How can it be wrong when it is always when It is at the right time at either now or never? What is and does what was and will be my reality In the moment in between which is all I have for now Whenever it is then being now and then again Right now at the right time at the time it always was Through the day time and the night time as the only gate Of time at when it always will be as both what and how It is always now and then again now and again In the canyon of time where the river runs through it Before and after past me not too slow and not too fast With my own way to do it with maybe something to it Here between the mountains of the future and the past Where in the in betweening the moment is the meaning I am taking my time as time will allow Where time has taken me where life has brought me When all else has forsaken me but what love has taught me Knowing I know nothing but believing love knows how As love has shown me why if not to do at least to try And though I go I know somehow that I will always be At the time of my life by the river of the now +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMXI
