Carpe Diem

I can feel so much of life slipping through the cracks
so much missed opportunity
due to lack of time
due to procrastination
due to any breeze that happens to blow my way-

don't let this happen to you
carpe diem
yes that's right
sieze the day
make your world of dreams shine forth
and you never know what will come your way-

and
be gentle with yourself
as you step one foot in front of the other
your moments of intention will manifest themselves
into a myrid of happenings that
will leave you breathless.
