Seizing the Day
Seize each new day
in a creative way
As humans, there are limited days
yet copious ways
When a new day arrives
if you treat it like a treasured prize
and marvel that you survived
you will have thrived

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

He didn't need a face
Only a way, that led to the place
Where familiarity

Moving with intentionality
Handling life's situation

to beauty, I saw what was hidden from me: a pure faith
that made me believe in a God who created spectacular scenes
with white oaks in a landscaped surrounded by blue water
running through forests where ravens emitted scary shrills;
in that wilderness I felt very safe, danger didn't

Seizing the Moment
Pour that second glass of wine
savour that dark chocolate --
do a boogie down the street
laugh with the wind
learn to zipline,
wear Hawaiian shirts
or fall in love all over again.
While you're living
spontaneous life happens
so, cradle the moment.

Hanging worms by the wrong end
