The 365 Project Pt. II

this day picked like a bouquet
burns brightly then fades
withering in a glass on the table
until in moonlight it is gone

we cut them short of our own
desire forgetting the cut
we give ourselves stealing
what it gives easily for free

seize no day
surrender and
be swept away
seize no day
be ready for anything

the glass is good for pinching
sand and killing lilies the
watchmaker an undertaker
and the florist the mortician

seize no day
surrender and
be swept away
seize no day
be ready for anything
