Let them rip and tear our pages
They cannot mute our story
Let them smash and break our pictures
They cannot kill our smiles
For our words have power
And our joy is like a rock
Our tale is star enchanted
And our happiness is an ocean
Let them swear and curse our fates
They cannot change our destiny
Let them pierce and pry our safety
They cannot intimidate our dreams
For our bond is of the moon
And our weapons made of light
Our art inspires creation
And all that’s good is on our side
Let them taunt and mock our morals
They cannot shake our conscience
Let them deny and decry our love
They are but passing strangers
For our inner voice is clear
And our actions speak more true
Our roots of love are strong
And our wings of trust are sure

Seize the Day: Favourite Inspirational Poems
This creative collection, now in its 3rd edition, brings together favourite inspirational poems by Wayne Visser. The anthology takes us on a journey through the peaks and troughs of life, celebrating the indomitable human spirit.. It includes many old favourites like “Poets Must Be” and “Chasing the Blue”, as well as brand new poems like “The Writer” and “Making Ripples”. Sages through the ages wisely say: / Carpe Diem – seize the dawning day / Oh, would that I could assuage that thirst / But the day conspires to seize me first! / With the hurry and scurry / Of home’s frantic flurry / And the hustle and bustle / Of work’s tangled tussle.
