A Choice

this day comes once

its content

is unknown

its possibilities

is endless

its atmosphere

is exciting mystery

how lucky are we

to be florists

in a garden

that changes every day

allowed to walk among

old and new flowers

Collecting and arranging them

Into a bouquet of meaningful

And beauty.

how exciting, life is!

so make today

what it was meant to be:

a distinct chapter

in the book of your life,

and not a blank page

that blends into the others

for a day with no name

is no day at all

and is instead

a fragment of time

lost to time

saved from disintegration

only by raising your capacity

to reflect and find meaning

in all things

in finding adventure

no matter how insignificant it may seem

to others around you

to set complexity in your path,

whenever possible,

to elicit substance,

from a life that’s only limitation,

is your vigor to ask for more of it 

for the days are long

and the years short

as life’s measure

by adventures

and not time’s march 

or time spent

in transient happiness

so on this unwritten day,

exist passionately,

persist brilliantly, 

and live consciously,

as a vivid, dynamic entity

capable of everything

and anything
