Carpe Diem
Your life is like a brief
Elusive, wind-blown leaf
Upon the gales of March. So seize
And clutch it captive from Time’s breeze.
But leaves are hard to hold
In autumn’s coming cold;
Before they powder in your hand
(Right through your fingers, like fine sand)
Enwreathe them in a floral band.
