Seize the Day
I have heard
‘Seize the Day’
and thought:
‘Thats a great idea’,
but left it unused
as a life strategy.
Now,
suddenly
it is imprinted
on my heart
SEIZE THE DAY
tatooed
deeply.
I ask her out.
December 15th
On the 15th day of Christmas
I was still for a while;
like snow on a windless day,
like Shepherds watching their sheep,
like a father and mother watching their newborn baby.
December 12th
On the twelfth day of Christmas
i thought about
how living alone
is a an existence
full of experiences
that lack
depth,
bright colour,
richness,
much joy,
great happiness.
One gift I desire O Lord,
one gift I long for,
a girlfriend to share my life with
a wife to share all with me.
In Your mercy and kindness,
in Your abundant goodness,
please help me to find her.
A Christmas gift longed for.
Feminine incarnation.
December 10th
On the tenth day of Christmas
snow
and
snow,
ice,
white,
all is covered,
sparkling
fairy land.
Transforming
Montreal
from dull hues
to bright white.
Flakes in the trillions have flocked to Montreal upon hearing that winter had come to that great city. Said one flake-’it is just how i imagined it would be-cold and culturey.’
All the snow
is frustrating…to drive through,
beautiful…to look at;
loveliness
clothed in difficulties-
Christmas:
God,
clothed in flesh.
Everything needs clothing.
December 7th
On the seventh day of Christmas
my thoughts turned
to my true love
again:
no geese,
no lords a leaping,
no rings given yet.
But I hope,
since it is Christmas,
and Christmas
is soaked in hope,
I hope
that the gift
of my Eve,
wrapped in flesh and
her life lived,
will be given
by the Giver of all good gifts.
