My First Blog Post

Carpe Diem

Life is a gift to be used every day,
Not to be smothered and hidden away;
It isn't a thing to be stored in the chest
Where you gather your keepsakes and treasure your best;
It isn't a joy to be sipped now and then
And promptly put back in a dark place again.

Life is a gift that the humblest may boast of
And one that the humblest may well make the most of.
Get out and live it each hour of the day,
Wear it and use it as much as you may;
Don't keep it in niches and corners and grooves,
You'll find that in service its beauty improves.

First post on the new blog and I’d thought I’d start it off with what I’m about. Life. – EZ

Yes I’m Changing

18 years

I’ve been moving onward from what’s behind

My childhood lingers like a warm aroma I can’t quite smell

As reality approaches, youth frollicks in and out of my grasp

Perhaps some things must be left behind

At least I want to retain the core of it all

The joyful exuberance and curiosity

The ecstasy of living

As I ride the currents

The sea of the past is frozen

All I can bring is myself

The one constant through my life

Who I fail to realize is changing

The memories are faded and jaded, losing their warmth

And I question

Am I losing myself, or becoming myself?

Down

Down

I was down for a change

Weighted down by dread

My face frowning

An anchor in my chest

Down wasn’t so bad, it’s only natural

I’ve been up next to the sun

Blind and oblivious

Above myself

An alien to all life

Floating in limbo

And in an ethereal state of daydream

It’s about time I came back to earth

I’m down to go down below the atmosphere

Breaking the hollow shell of the surface ground

Planting my bare feet firmly in the gritty and soft soil

And digging into the dense soil under

Even further down: the organic roots

Surrounded by the darkest darkness yet

And full of life
