Carpe diem,
seize the day,
the saying goes;
Don’t let it waste away.
The sun spreads life,
it gives its light,
lets it dance in day,
but not at night.
The day is warm,
energetic and bright;
people love the day,
but shun the night.
The night with its cool, gliding glory,
The night with its mysterious way.
The night holds just as much beauty,
but remains overshadowed by the day.
Embrace the dark,
acknowledge the night,
step away from comfort,
turn from the light.
Come out and face your fears,
see what lies in the inky black,
go out under the moonlit sky,
go so far you can’t come back.
Carpe noctem, I say.
Seize the night, not the day.
