Emile Pinet Poet Quatrain

Appreciating Today

Changing your priorities
broadens the width of your scope.
And you start searching your heart
for a faint glimmer of hope.

Luck leaps merrily along,
then makes a sharp reversal.
For life's not a Broadway play;
there's no script or rehearsal.

The beauty of Winter's white
leaves Autumn colors in doubt.
And as tears irrigate guilt;
anxieties start to sprout.

Reality devastates
dreams, tethered to hope and time.
For emotions are fickle,
often turning on a dime.

Live your life to its fullest,
or it'll simply slip away.
And you can start by merely
appreciating today.
