I am the Day, I am the Definite-Carpe Diem

November 27, 2021 by Russell Wardlow Leave a Comment

I am the force
you’ve all of course
tried to thwart
though horrors enforced
you stay the course
aboard discord’s horse
you’ve been on since born
when reality was divorced
from the truth you first endorsed

now it’s intuition you sell short
and emotions you can never abort
throughout remorse or scorn
adorned from weathering weather through whatever
whether you wither, or
reason to reckon with
this living torch
which never dawns!

my day’s chosen weapon is excellence
emotions I pedal in motion
over impediments, with devotion
staying solidly grounded on sediment

my will-
the immortal portal
time-warping awoken readiness
reticent
of deficits
prefaced with
insurmountable prerequisites
that most would exit from

but I’m invested in
cultivating methods into messages
for wisdom and spiritual directions
by an ominous presence
and all-knowing specialist
encompassing all power
empowering me to release the tension suspending my mind drifts
through time shifts
embodying apprehensions and wretchedness
please,
permission for precision
and the prestige of provision
give me
visions- premonitions and intuitions I can visit until I get it!
then lift me!…into infinity and beyond swiftly
I’ve risen!
from second-guessing it
There’s no question that doubt only arrested development
Because I am, the Day, the Definite
