Everything is fine, for now.

The milk in the fridge is there,

for now. 

The car in the driveway is running,

for now. 

The water in the stream is flowing,

for now.

The tower we built has not tipped,

for now.

The snow in the globe is settled,

for now. 

The dog outside is barking,

for now. 

For now, 

it seems the rain in the clouds has not fallen. 

Life goes on as they loom just ahead.

Maybe it's just me that

sees them darkening.

But since everything is fine,

for now,

I guess I shouldn't worry,

for now.

And even though the darkness

 is just darkness, ahead,

for now,

I guess I'm just waiting for now

to end.
