for now
evening lingers long for now
and there is nothing to fear
warm winds gather song for now
and there is nothing to fear
sunlight holds us sway –
mem’ries fall away –
bathing right and wrong
and there is nothing to fear
excerpt from “for now”
For now is a phrase once learned from a friend.
For now. It sounds kind of provisional (“let’s see what we can do for now“), as if there is something more and better to be had at some future point, and that for now is simply a stopgap.
But.
What if for now is actually temporal in the best of senses. What if for now is a plea to live – really live – in this moment and to realise its worth.
Breathe. Drink deeply of this moment. Warm winds gather song for the now we are living. And there is nothing to fear.
Lovely – Thank you
Events in these last few weeks have made me realise more than ever how precious life is – how we should live “for now”. Listening to this beautiful song brought wonderful images of hope… to live knowing we can never be separated from God’s love, nor from those we love or care about. In spirit, they remain close beside us, within our hearts, – perhaps for now, we have to keep on keeping on – “drinking deeply of this moment” letting the “warm winds gather song… trusting there is nothing to fear”
Living in Love.
