Seize The Day, O Soul Poem by Santanu Banerjee

Seize the Day, O Soul

Sri Santidasa

In the dance of time, O soul, awake,
This fleeting breath is not yours to take.
The sun that rises will soon descend,
Why wait for tomorrow? Today, transcend.

Krishna's flute calls softly, clear,
Whispers of love, so close, so near.
The lotus blooms but once in light,
In this moment, embrace the sight.

Maya wraps the world in veil,
Yet truth within will never fail.
Look beyond this transient strife,
To taste the nectar of eternal life.

Each heartbeat echoes a divine song,
In this fleeting now, you belong.
Surrender your fear, let go of the weight—
In timeless joy, let love create.

The past is dust, the future unseen,
All that exists is this golden sheen.
Seize the day, in love's sweet sway,
And merge with the One, in endless play.
