Carpe Diem
Through the sky, morning light breaks
Dancing leaves move with the breeze
I walk slow purposefully
For today’s joy, I will seize!
Time’s soft whispers pass me by
Silent steps bring quiet ease
Though the world keeps moving fast
I’ll hold now, let moments freeze
Breath by breath, each gift I try
Keeping close what life decrees
Knowing that today won’t last
Lost in what tomorrow sees
Let me cherish, bold and clear
Fleeting joys before they cease!
