time to run the race

out of time and out of place
out of step, just lost in space
way behind in Life's race
where IT went, there ain't no trace

out of gear, lost in fear
never let Life get too near
but now i see, it all seems clear
now i see Life is here

been runnin' fast to stay behind
guess i was afraid of what i'd find
afraid to look, so i stayed blind
guess i was the kind who lost his mind

wish i could go back to where i began
maybe then i'd understand
run a race other than
the race that i ran

out of step and out of gear
time to let Life get near
out of time and lost in space
now it' time to run the race

If we wait too long to leave the starting blocks, it seems a near impossibility to make it to the finish line with the rest of the pack. Excellent poem, Steve.
Take care,
Sherry

A really interesting poem here and yes the last paragraph blends in so well with what you wanted to convey.
