THE MAGIC OF A DAY

THE MAGIC OF A DAY
 
This overlooked treasure often taken for granted ,    
By those who have won the lottery of life ,
This chance to cherish and enjoy ,  our best efforts deploy ,
Accept in equal measure the joys and the strife. 
 
Welcome with appreciation and thrill , 
The off-beat adventures that come our way ,   
All it needs is a step ,  a small action adept ,
To craft a life in miniature -  a well lived day. 
 
A privilege to paint on this blank canvas , 
The complex shades of human artistry ,
Sealing day-tight compartments ,  in myriad departments , 
While the soul speaks with authenticity.   
 
The answer to success , the antidote to overwhelm ,
The bewilderment when things don’t go our way , 
Tomorrow and yesterday’s mist , haven’t yet been kissed ,
By the blessing of a  do-able day.   
 
Then string them together in succession ,
Like a snow white string of pearls ,
With its unplanned events ,  many dreams and dents ,
Synchronicities that spin you around in a whirl .     
 
Indulge in pursuits close to your heart ,    
Amidst life’s necessities,  your deep joy convey ,    
Hone your curiosity , showcase this philosophy ,
The sanctity and mileage of the simple day  
 
My passion is contained within twenty four hours ,   
My new religion ,  the mantra i now imbibe ,
A vow to embrace , optimize ,  see afresh with new eyes ,  
This gift in hand , this Holy Holly-Day 😊
