Carpe Per Diem

Lost in the moment, finding my way

back to the morning, the start of the day

where the feelings were flying and words went astray

what should I say?

I haven’t yet found out the way to make time

turn from the ugly and back to sublime

the rewind of memory turns on a dime

back to the prime…

Seizing this moment, I’m storming this tower

before life went sideways and sweetness turned sour

I suddenly realise I have the power -

This is the hour
