Live for Now


LIVE FOR NOW

Here I am caught between the living and the dead
Walking in a realm I have not visited yet
Oh my, how my imagination can soar
Billowing white clouds covering up the impending storm
My creative heart suffers from writer's block
Blocking out memories it hurts to humor
Awaking a new world where hurting does not exist
Who says you can't have heaven on earth
Who says my life is not my own
I was given free will to do whatever I see fit
This is me this is how I grow
Take a few steps forward
To secure what lies ahead
Take a few steps backwards
To make sure I did not miss a step
You can only speculate the future
Study history so you do not repeat the past
Live for now
Because now is all that is left

    Such a beautiful picture of the now.....'take a few steps forward to secure what lies ahead....take a few steps backwards to make sure I did not miss a step'. This is the reality of the now FULL with the experience already lived and the open potential for the new.
