Carpe Diem

Seize then this day that comes your way: Soul do not stray on fickle play. Seize your sure will with intent clear: Live what you feel as love funds cheer. Seize thus your quest to journey far: Love frames your best as darkness mars. Seize the bold truth that bids your fest: Dare act with proof of soul's pure test. Seize clear outlook and know your heart: Listen and hook your poignant art. Seize sacred feel that calls to you: Dream and live thrills in all you do. Seize thus the prize your soul must know: Love pays the price in light that shows. Seize faith and hope with love and grace: Love facts your scope as light rays trace. Seize then and face the moment grand: Look to pure grace to see my friend. Seize happy cheer when gloom waves doom: Death holds no fear for soul that blooms. Seize here and now that placid peace: Love does endow a vital ease. Seize ample chimes to love each play: Love beyond time and space each day. Leon Enriquez 18 January 2017 Singapore (Note: "Carpe Diem" in the Latin means: Seize the day, or Seize this day. This is an invocation to "Live each day to the fullest as it will not come again." The gist of the invocation is to treasure and cherish your time on earth by being and living the best version of your self fully each day because tomorrow is not a certainty!)
