For Now



No time like the present
Now presented presently
But only for now
What it means not what it meant
Or may mean someday

Only what it means when
Now is now to be
Then again but now again
How reality
Persistently goes on

Insisting this is when to
Be for now and how
To do it so I do
Presently the only cure
For what is ailing me

All I know for sure
With tomorrow failing me
Unveiling yesterday
For now until now is gone
Will be enough for me

If tomorrow never comes
True for some of us
Today is what becomes
This is what becomes of us
Between will be and was

Now is what comes through
What comes true and overcomes
What it means is to see
That for now is how it does
Or not but either way:

This is it because
If there is an it to get
For now anyway
I am present for it
Not tomorrow but today
