Journal Day 18

So many things Breezed by today; So many flings Bringing new say. What will I learn From this message? What did I earn In swift passage? Joy and peace here In simple zest Brought me some cheer To live the rest. Strokes once easy Now take more time; Age feels queasy In jerky chimes. I write my stuff With fond feelings; Yes just enough To prime thinking. Words in my book Feed easy wit; I take a look At rhymes that fit. This journal takes Some mindset shift; I try to make Each moment lift. Too many cares To juggle choice; I string verse wares By urgent poise. I stop to cite When feelings come; Take time to write As muse hurls sums. In just a while My day unwinds; Deep sleep helps style A state of mind. Dawn strains to dusk, Nothing can last; Dust follows dust: This too shall pass. Here's to good cheer As life happens; Live love right here As joy sharpens. There is meaning In finesse here; In believing Love floats and cheers. Leon Enriquez 18 March 2015 Singapore
