CARPE DIEM

Not before, after, or later
Not in the past or future
But Now in the Present...
..is the life of your dreams

Catch it before

like the vapour of fleeting breath
it flutters away like a butterfly
into the azure
Gone and lost forever
admist the clouds above...
..carpe Diem.

Today is another opportunity to truly live, instead of simply existing.

BEFORE I DIE

Before I die
Let me live
Becoming the person
I was meant to be
Accomplishing the purpose
I was born to fulfill

Before I die
Let me live
Meeting every soul
I was destined to meet
Visiting every place
On the path chosen for me

Before I die
Let me live
Making the most
Of everything I encounter
Cherishing every moment
That shapes my days

Before I die
Let me live
The life I am meant to live
As I was meant to live
Let me first live
Before I die.

HOPE

Hope is that dream
in which we see a better life
in a faraway land called "tomorrow"
Entranced by its enchantment
we dream on

Day after day we dream
of the better life of "tomorrow"
While today we ignore
and its gift of life we neglect
Preferring to dream than live

But "tomorrow" never comes, you see
because today is all there is
And "tomorrow" is just a dream—
an imagined reality yet unreal
A trick of the mind

Should we then blame hope?
Discard it and disregard its dream?
No, hope is not to blame
Our interpretation of its dream is
Which really isn't about "tomorrow"
but today— the present

Hope is that dream
revealing the better life there is today
If only we can be present in the present
To live today as we should today
Instead of chasing the dream itself.
