Carpe Diem Dance

Carpe Diem 6-21-24 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carpe Diem Dance What lives today, changes faces tomorrow, The breath of dance conundrum, As days of clay crumble into mortality. Wisdom’s alliterations Speaks a monologue into the jealous Tiger of time at full gallop Demanding Our intentionality wake From hypnotized stupor To each tick of time – Every revolution of the sun – Before ephemerality slides into new dawns Like spent daylilies grasping at moonlight With no contract for the next, No covenant for another No promise for running through stardust. Our eyes grasp at the alluring coiffure Of present tense choreographies - Elusive patterns Styled in NOW. Haunting possibilities intones spells In single strands, of intricate steps, Over the work of our hands Danced with warp and woof To revel in styles beyond our signatures Conscious of coincidence Open to opportunities Lessons of Love Parables of Hope Affirmations of Quests Axioms of Ah-ha! Yes! Live in the realm of watchfulness Seize the first light Then rest in our Eternal’s readiness.
