I was right before
(How often does a guy get to say that?)
That timing is key, timing controls everything
Timing has a say.

And that makes me wonder about the universe
Just how much-
Power
-Do we give it?

We dance
Through
This life
This mistake
This message

but something is leading us, right?
like a well trained dance partner, a good leader
and we follow, pulling together this seamless expression of art
these moments
tied together by bits of string.

Right now may not be the right time to say all you want
(then again it might be; why would the universe give you a chance to do so if you weren't supposed to?)
But there's something greater at work here.
Never doubt that second chances exist. Just don't take advantage of them.

Like a secret shared between you
(an apple sticker on the knee, for instance; or a smile across a crowded room)
Something greater moves us
From

Moment
To
Moment.
