CARPE DIEM

CARPE DIEM

I must dare

to say and be

all I think and feel.

I must dare

to be the Man I am.

I must dare to tell you

"I think I love you."

I must dare to ask you,

"Come and join me."

"Come and show me."

Let's get something done.

Let's dare to be bold.

There is no moment like this next one

coming up right now.

This is the moment for you and me

to seize the world and turn it upside down.

See it.

Feel it.

Know it.

And for Christ's sake let's do it.

Let's dare to do it.

Turn the world upside down.

Unless of course,

you've made other plans.

Perry, this is really delightful. Yes, let's seize the day, right this very moment - but that'll have to wait until tomorrow when I've got more time. Or next week, perhaps, maybe.

Your change-up caught me by surprise, Perry, and the laugh erupted from deep within. It doesn't change 'Carpe Diem' but it sure makes the axis tilt! Good writing.
