A Poem for the New Year: Act. Don’t Wait.

Act. Don’t Wait.

Life

Live now.

For a limited time.

There’s no future

In waiting.

Stop reading

This poem.

Go out into

The nearest

Field of flowers.

Dance.

Breathe.

Sing.

Howl.

It will be over

Soon enough.

(Too soon.)

So squeeze as

Much juice

As possible

From this big,

Bright orange

Of a day.

Act.

Don’t wait.
