Monday

"Seize the day!"
            Horace 20 BC

Break the silence of chatter
by listening.
The words you speak
should be your finest poem.

Touch the ones you love
as if yesterday was a dream
and tomorrow is just a word.
The moment is not then
or when but now.
                   --Judi Van Gorder

Wisdom clearly expressed Tink...sounds convincing...very effective that phrase 'silence of chatter...and certainly treasuring not neglecting those close to you...again 'touch' conveyed what is real rather than abstract...

How well you've seized that classic expression and run with it! No vanity or wasted words in this one, only wisdom.
