Notes About The Poem

June 23,2024 3.03pm     Just a try of carpe diem poem

Life



Life is at a snap of our finger, a wink of eye
Flicks fast in gems and finally gone by and by…

Like an existence of each butterfly
Journeying gardens with tender wings to fly
An ephemeral beauty, a magic we’d seen for a while,
Grab each moment to leave rich legacies exuding smiles
As growing plants and trees, spreading here and miles.

Life is at a snap of our finger or a wink of eye
Flicks fast in gems and finally gone by and by…

Like a short earth’s film and we’re the main actors,
In drama, action, comedy, adventure, horror….
We’re mighty heroes with love and precious gifts to unfold.

Give then our best with joy and love for ourselves and others,
With reverence to our Almighty Director and Producer,
In the end, we’ll reap His rewards in the choir of His angels.

I like how your poem opens with a strong metaphor comparing life to "a snap of our finger, a wink of eye," highlighting its brevity. This theme is reinforced with the image of a butterfly's short-lived journey, symbolizing the transience of beauty and existence... It effectively blends vivid imagery, thoughtful metaphors, and a motivational message to create a profound reflection on the transient nature of life and the importance of making the most of our time.

What a way to describe life dear len, you have a very creative way with words. I especially loved the lines “ Like an existence of each butterfly Journeying gardens with tender wings to fly An ephemeral beauty, a magic we’d seen for a while” dreamy and soulful! Just love that! How youv described fleetin time and also left a reminder to embrace all. Best wishes: sending you light always
