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.
