I've captured this day
It's in my head ready to play,
At any given moment
Relieving my life's torment,
It's started and about to end
And one thing I've come to comprehend,
I've made today a memory
My greatest reverie,
And I shall come back
Time and time permitting,
To this dawn; to this dusk
And I'll savor what it is,
But a safe place to lie
From the haste of everyday,
The challenges of living
Because life is unforgiving,
If we don't stop to play
Once in a while; lose the tie,
And remember what it is we miss
That which is within the husk,
Of our monotonous routine whittling
Away at our knack to kick back,
And recharge to keep surviving
As each new day keeps arriving...
