Time and a Word

There's a time
and the time is right for me
It's right for me
and the time is now.

There's a word

and the word is love

and it's right for me.

It's right for me

and the word is love.
--YES, Time and a Word

When I had time, finding the word that was right for me, right for me, took such a time. What I could find were the words that belonged all around me, the words that confounded me, the words that weren't mine.

Then when I found the word, I lost place again. I lost my sense of when and who I was. I wandered and looked, wondered and still came back to the same word, but I was again fighting time.

Then finally I stood to say "This is my time, my turn."

There's a time and a word that are right for me, they're right for me.

Time and a word.
