Outside of Time

One late afternoon I was driving home from Liberty where I worked then to KC. I had just turned west onto MO 210 highway headed for 435 south. The next thing that I knew, I was pulling into my driveway at home in KC. What happened in the meantime? This is my explanation of it!

I went for a walk
On a warm September day
And somehow stepped outside of time
I met a friend there
And asked what she had to say
About this place outside of time.
She said, "This place is everything
That you could want it to be,
It's always the same yet it's different
For people like you and me.
You can come here whenever you want
But when you return
They will say it's all in your mind
They will say that you need treatment
For no one can step outside of time."
We walked and talked
And as we parted
She said, "close your eyes
And open your mind
Forget what they will tell you
For anyone can step outside of time."
