A Life In The Day

Fade from black, as the Day begins,
The Blue Moon is bright, and full.
Eager to get the work day done, and over,
I drive through traffic, like a fool.

The forecast calls for a beautiful day,
Postcard weather for one and all.
The last hurrah, of a turbulent season,
As Summer slowly evolves, into Fall.

Children in school, will sigh their sighs,
Watching a clock, that seems to be frozen.
Looking out windows, at people scurrying,
Whilst they read the story, of a road not chosen.

Most folks will go through this day, not thinking,
Never seeing how blessed, they truly are.
They follow the crowd, like mice in a maze,
Then, go home at night, and stare at the stars.

My goal for the day, is to make the most of it,
To not let a moment, pass me by.
I want to experience, life at its fullest,
To find pleasure in things, that money can't buy.

As Day fades to black, and a cool wind blows,
The highlights of the day, play back in my head.
I rest assured knowing, I did all I could do,
No moment was missed, no words left unsaid.
