Seizing The Day. Poem by Fay Slimm

Every day dawns with renewed, freshly cleaned
Night-laundered air, begins again with daring
Insistence we cannot resist. Gleaming
With promise, it offers itself for caring
Takers, to make of it something supreme.

It calls to be seized, shaken from stardust,
Awakened, and set to release our wildest
Dreams, if we permit it. New days need trust
To begin to weave beauty for each child
Of the Universe who grasps the day's chance
To take lessons in life's ecstatic dance.
