“Take Today”

April 24-2011 (Easter Day)


Take today
But remember it is not yours to
Use fleetingly

Each breath is an essay
Of what your eyes perceives
And you speak willfully

Take this day
But knead wisely the minute
Unto a memory

Today’s sunrise
Timely ends in slow sighs
Un-creasing at dawn entreaty

Pick each grape
From the present vine
And savor it’s fullness

Do not live,
Lean or cling toward past’s
Attic of echo and dustiness

Hold this day
Close but not very close
That you’re blind to it’s shadow

The dark bears
Moon, stars and nightingale
To overlook can be denial

Honor today
It’s an elijah not to return
On anyone’s sundial

Passover
No sweet or bitter hour
Its paradox yields

Today’s script
May be prophecy unwritten
Yet what miracles can wield!
