Poem:
You,
seize the day,
if you please,
and forgive my concerns
regarding your eager search for purpose.
I need a minimum of eight hours sleep!
Am not available, at 4am.
I admire your rigour.
And then, I roll over.
I have a dream waiting for me.
So, yes,
seize the day,
if you please,
and forgive my lie-ins,
my slow coach approach
to life and love.
My body and soul,
not a workout regime,
nor a catch as you can,
more of a kind coalition,
discussing, deliberating,
over a nice cup of tea.
Iโll seize the day,
when Iโm ready,
when it wants to be seized.
You,
go ahead.
Iโll catch up with you later.

“Do not go gently into that dark night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
Except… to stop for a cup of tea… might be good, too.
