Let’s all be adventurers, willing to explore
To walk the path less travelled, and open every door
Let’s all be brave explorers, happy to be wild
To let go inhibitions, and free our inner child
For when we open our mind we soon find
That the world is wonderful and wide
That all those sharp bends and dead ends
Are part of the existential ride
And when we open life’s book and we look
At the words with fresh unfiltered eyes
A story emerges of hope where we cope
As we fall and still find strength to rise
Let’s all be adventurers, willing to take a chance
To place our bets, feel the beat and never miss a dance
Let’s all be bold explorers, happy to get lost
To face our fears, dare to live and never count the cost

Seize the Day: Favourite Inspirational Poems
This creative collection, now in its 3rd edition, brings together favourite inspirational poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology takes us on a journey through the peaks and troughs of life, celebrating the indomitable human spirit.. It includes many old favourites like “Poets Must Be” and “Chasing the Blue”, as well as brand new poems like “The Writer” and “Making Ripples”. 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.
