When I have seized the moment

Taken the chance to be free

*

I feel the light

It enhances my vision

Reaching for the sight

To a person, place or thing

An activity that I do

Defining experience in

The mood that has ensued

The energy that life brings 

**

Good things happen

When we reach out

When we get past fear

and lose our doubts

We may also have to wait

But not too long

I hate being late

**

When I have missed the moment

Due to chance or bad timing

*

I lose some light

It drains from my vision

Straining on all sights

For a person, place or thing

An activity that I do

A grinding experience in

The mood that has ensued

The energy that life brings 

**

Hard things happen

When straining fails

When we work harder

To no avail

We may also have to wait

Pray not too long

I hate being late

**

When I savour the moment

Or cherish a memory

*

Shimmering lights

Frame the edge of my vision

Focusing the sights

Of a person, place or thing

An activity that I do

Every fine experience in

The mood that has ensued

The energy that life brings 

**

Wonderful things happen

When we focus

When we work smarter

Life will show us

We may also have to wait

The days are long

And there is no debate

Days can be tough

Days can be great

Either way

I hate being late
