Carpe Diem Poem: Between Tomorrow and Today
I do not bury dreams in haste,
Nor chase them till I miss the ground;
Hope walks beside the present hour,
Not far ahead, not tightly bound.
Tomorrow hums with promised light,
Yet now still breathes with living fire;
The future shapes my lifted gaze,
The present feeds my walking wire.
I plant my faith in days to come,
But drink today before it dries;
For hope that forgets the moment here
Learns too late how living dies.
So let me stand where both agree—
Eyes on the dawn, feet in the clay;
I seize the now with open hands
And let hope teach me how to stay.
