Carpe diem has long resonated
Down the centuries
But nature does it continuously
Teaching us all a lesson
We tend to easily forget
It rained hard last night
I found this morning
The shadowed arabesques
Of the humble garden hose
Rain's creative workmanship
Being such a pleasant pattern
I couldn't resist taking a picture.
It has just rained,
Nature's work has disappeared
Dissolved in the transience of this world
I'm so happy to have plucked the moment
And not to trust the future!
