sixteen multiversal verses "of a trip through"

All Right with Me sixteen multiversal verses "of a trip through" 1 There goes another day here comes another night As have all the days and the nights I have been Beginning and ending and beginning again In the now of always and the when of then 2 I remember the beginning now the end is in sight And the turning and returning in the in between Of a trip through what I may not know to what I may As I find out the hard way what I may not know 3 As well as what I may despite what anyone may say As if anyone may know anything anyway But to fade to silence from a former fortissimo At too late to explain now for whatever may remain 4 Though some of what I may know may not even be so And though I may not know it even though I may know what I may know or I may not I know I remember more than I forgot 5 As who and what if maybe not how I would be I could be worse and should be better but never mind Because I left what to compare me with behind Within the shed skin of what some may know as me 6 I used to own a lot of things too many to count And they had an estate sale as though I were dead and gone Five generations liquidated for the lowest amount The curious could pay to take it all away and I moved on 7 I got married once but do not want to be buried The one idea the wrong one for me I suppose The other even less appealing but then when who knows And both so claustrophobic I would rather just be burned 8 And not alive as in the one but as the other goes As this much now unmarried and unburied I have learned It is not the institution but the constitution of The married buried claimed and put to bed in the name of love 9 I seek no sacramental nor environmental walls I would rather not be buried in the exclusivity Of the institution since my constitution would be free The open elusivity of freedom is what calls to me 10 As a boy I learned a Bible verse about how it was "Better to marry than to burn" and I did both because A contemporary temporary man I earn the flame With no one left now but myself to blame 11 Seasons of both happy and unhappy surprise Pass before my eyes now like the grass before it dies To pass into the past as my time passes too But by consciousness I am and conscientiousness I do 12 Decay does not delay and I must pay for today Tomorrow as an old tomorrow and new yesterday Like all the old tomorrows and new yesterdays past Another good reason to make today last 13 At least until tomorrow anyway As better than I would be but worse than I should I mean well and keep meaning to do well by doing good As well as doing good by doing well as you could tell 14 And I am all right because I have to be all right When another day and then another night I see What I may and I may not know and come what may Knowing and not knowing will be all right with me 15 Right now is as right with me as any time would be And has the advantage of not being a surprise Reassuring of mere madness and not sheer senility Readjusting to the darkness through my newly opened eyes 16 There goes another night here comes another day Of coming and going of may and may not knowing But I am all right because I have to be Another day another night will be all right with me +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMX
