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.

I think in these few words I interpret a touching story of love beyond the realm of the usual horizons.

THe poem felt good even if I'm not sure of what it means.

Hi Dr. John,
I sure hope if you figure out what it means that you'll tell me. I only have a glimmer of a clue right now. :)

there is always a time but not in the time, in the moment and it is the moment , your moment, exclusively for your "self"..

Lucidly written post :)

Hi Pensative,
I so enjoy your response. Every moment I live is a special one . . . I'm trying to make sure I'm alive for all of them. :)
