Best Seize Poems

Live each day as if it were your last
I tell you  dear friend time is running  so fast
All of us would one day return to dust
I know it's hard to accept but we must

Tell the people you love about the way you feel
Give...

Live for today, our wisdom cries,
On looking back through endless years
To youthful days with mackerel skies
When joy of living outweighed fears

Let's seize this moment while we can
Latch on to this day of life,
Those inner joys shared when a man
Does truly love his loving wife.

Leave old...

I looked after an old lady and she always used to say
‘Three things never come back…
The spoken word, the sped arrow, and the neglected opportunity’
I look back on my life, yes I have regrets 
Of the things I’ve done, or I haven’t done 
The things...

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...

Seize the day 


This Diwali night is the Festival of Lights,
A spark lend to dull and monotonous lives,

Living without friends is as if in a desert,
Souls chasing mirage, getting badly hurt,

Dr. Sonia created a group on whatsapp,
Eleven of us invited to join the app,

Sand dunes...

The breeze
Has blown my way
A brush of scented moisture
Like a kiss upon my flushed cheeks
Tender.
Aura
A sweet embrace
Of a presence nearby
That blends its thoughts with mine
Mind eye.
That sees,
A silent give and take,
That no one sees or hear
yet echoes throughout the heavens
It seems.
Aware
Thanks to the breeze
That moves...

Nothing can separate us from God's love
Smile, hold hands with someone special
Genuinely care for others
Really inquire of their day
Walk in the mud, pick flowers
Listen to the sounds of nature
Feel the breeze on your skin
Make all those you meet, feel valued...

Throw enthusiasm into your next twenty-four hours.
Find something new to master, to learn, to study, to play with, to enjoy.

Pretend this is your last twenty-four hours.
Play like you have never allowed yourself to play before.

Today is your day, a magnificent day indeed.
Your chance to see...

Resting atop the highest tree
Gazing all that is around me
Enjoying nature feeling free.

Weather is cool with a soft breeze,
Sinuous midst mid-autumn seas
Of glorious shades of dry leaves;
Spiraling gently downward weaves,
Beneath the bluish shade of trees.

Light-shower of cool rain appease,
Sunshine reflects rainbow of peace.

My heart's rhythm...

Always there
in my heart
Every thought
fills me
with many emotions

The future holds
promises
and expectations
Hopes
and sorrows
As common
pleasures
that life brings

Life is
loving
and beautiful
Open your
eyes
Smell, see
and feel
Smile
and cry

This is more
than I ever
could imagine
Is what keeps me alive

(Earth Day, 2014)

New life emerges;
Seasons change...
fragile Earth survives another day...

We scan our universe for origins
(and endings), extending vision
ever farther, reaching for utmost limits...

So much to learn --
trial and error, trial and error
(preponderance of error)...

and new life emerges. 
Fragile Earth
survives another day....

Don’t look back with regret
The time is gone and
There’s no reason to fret
Don’t look toward tomorrow
It might not ever come
There’s no reason to foreknow
Look to the moment
Live in the present tense
Seize the day –  the poignant
And you will forever stay
Filled with delight and insight
The...

Take it...Take it all...

as it reaches the limits of your honyed velvet throat
touching the...

Jump in that puddle.  Make mistakes. Jump toward the edge. Hang on by your knuckles.
Dare yourself! 
Get muddy!
Laugh your truth. Make fun of the ridiculous.  Call them out. Live your life.
Stand in the rain.
Be yourself.
Every second of every day, no matter how mad...
