Carpe Diem: Seize The Day

Sages through the ages wisely say:

Carpe Diem – seize the dawning day!

Oh, would that I could assuage that thirst

But the day conspires to seize me first!

 

With the hurry and scurry

Of home’s frantic flurry

And the hustle and bustle

Of work’s tangled tussle

 

With the knocks and blocks

Of life’s surprise shocks

And the names and games

Of love’s fickle flames

 

Alas! It’s not the day that I seize

But the feathers floating in the breeze

And the jetsam drifting on the tide

That I cling to for my daily ride
