Don’t waste a moment,
Careful now, Save the time.
Make waste your opponent,
Quick - while you are still prime.
Life is passing now as you go,
darkly swinging itself closed.
For every moment as you know,
Is passing fruitless and unopposed.
Rue the passage of each day.
But, welcome each rising sun
‘Carpe Diem’ Live to see each ray,
Even as the years pass one by one.
Your legacy lives on in each choice.
Few stand the test of time and age.
But precious few lives of a great voice,
Shine on – until they too leave the stage.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
