Now's Love Song or Masterpiece in the Making

Wherever we are at in life, what ever part of the song,may we learn to trust the Maestrotill the Masterpiece is complete... My music sheet is a bit messy and paint-splattered  these days... ...hoping to get it a bit more organized todaybefore a belated birthday supper for Matt tonight! (finishing this post while waiting for the cocoa-mixture to cool beforeI can finish mixing the cake) Matt's fav; Cocoa Chiffon Cake This poem niggled beneath my ribsfrom drifts of music from noisierdays gone by... It seeps through heart-shaped holes, through walls weathered and whisper thinA little like a gong that tolls when dusk is closing inIt gathers missing faces from Bygone’s lost places nearA love song of awareness to embrace the now and here This is the life. Unfolding not upon yon fairer climeThat morrow is withholding; now is all we have of timeTo touch and taste, to hug and kiss, to revel in the thrillOf a love song we dare not miss as its melodies spill ...while penning lyrics to a tune not fully composed yetA crescendo of crescent moon, a petal pirouetteA rush of sound and color, a rippling arpeggioA test of will and valor as we hold, but to let go A smile-tear-prayer glistened yes-no, a courage-christened leapNow high, now low, now fast, now slow Now's ballads lilt and weepTo seep through heart-shaped holes, through walls weathered and wonder-wornWhere every gifted half-note tolls with love songs being born © Janet Martin Eph.5:15-20 See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,16 Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;20 Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
