Turn Around Now
A poem. Rondeau. A Meditation on Today.
Turn around now; look now and see
Today is done... where did it flee?
Evening has come, vanished today;
Tomorrow comes, but it will not stay;
It too shall pass by fleetingly.
Days fly by evanescently;
Soon go the years, ephemerally.
Blink not your eyes, treasure each day;
Turn around now...
Today seek generosity;
Do good for others cheerfully.
Ere tonight falls, cherish today
In what did we do and what we say.
Make each day count fervently --
Turn around now...
