Dr.Ram Mehta Poet Carpe Diem

Seize the Day

The autumn sun has risen
but yet to attain high noon-
make hay, my roses fair.
I would not be happy to see you
decaying with the hasting day.
I have short time as you.
Growing too quickly to decay.
Dying as the summer’s rain-
as the pearls of morning’s dew
never to be seen again as I’m.
I have learnt a lesson from 
butterfly, your best friend; 
“It is better to be happy for a moment
and burnt with the beauty
than to live a long boring life”.
