‘Seize the Day’
The Thief
Never quite managed to
Seize the day
Excuses roll and rap
It’s too cold
It’s too noisy
It’s too…….
So once again
Locked in voluntary isolation
I write another poem
Another excuse
If only I could
Cross that line
Between in and out
Or join the dots
Between home and town
Or that bridge between
You and me
Maybe then
I could seize, the moment
The day,
Time
But the Invisible thief
Is on the loose again
So who knows?
What tomorrow will bring
