Seizing the Instant
Give up your torment,
take back your verse
tomorrow upon you
for better or worse
Take up your wishes,
give in to dreams
sleep in denial,
old memories scream
Free up the moment,
strike out the past
damning the future,
its promise unmasked
Strike up the silence,
freeing new words
seizing the instant
—forever unheard
(The New Room: May, 2022)
