sufficient unto the day
“You are alive today, and no matter what your condition, make a
mark here and now. Opportunity is at every moment, seizing it is
pleasure.”—Angelo Sotira
do not borrow
from tomorrow
fat and marrow
for today;
if you serve now
your reserve, how
will you face life's
roundelay?
let no scorning
steal the morning
sun adorning
every hill
with a measure
of good pleasure
for the leisure
of your will.
peace attending
the transcending
apprehending
of your ways
shall not waver,
though you savour
the disfavour
of life’s craze.
in the starkness
of the darkness,
strive to mark less
of your ink,
while defeating
every fleeting
bitter-sweet thing
on the brink.
