Caveats of Carpe Diem
When the sinking feeling rises
He hopes it floats on rainbow bubbles
Until the dredges clear once more
What ifs have not buts they simply are
A luxury or misdemeanour in thought
Crystal clear reflections upon blind sight
In sleepless nights with tokens of meaning
When consciousness meets disarray
Confabulations take their stride
Spooling endless loops that irritate when midnight
Meets dawn before dusk in empty synchronicity
With heartless spikes filled with fearful dread
A restless dagger rides the grinder
Leaves inroads for another day as
The plateau sweeps away foundations
Yet privilege adorns the many building sites
Of birthing life and mounting connotation
In the wilderness of dissipate surrender
Acceptance clears the buoyancy of drowning
When down is up and far way is near enough
And the jester tackles the charades of doubts
It is a circus in the mind field of masks and jingles
In which procrastination smiles upon the clown
And lonely laughter smirches pandemonium
When the fool turns jokester and uncovers madness
As serenity brings what not ifs into the fold of light
Moments of insomnia are but a tiny price to pay
