“Carpe diem”
A sirenic voice calls
“Seize the day”
It echoes
My heart quickens
I take a deep breath
Then I sprint
Running towards transformation
The status quo will never do!

sirenic [sahy-ren-ik]
adjective: of or characteristic of a siren; melodious, tempting, or alluring.
Example: She sang for an hour. I resigned myself to the spell of her voice–not alone to that sirenic power, but to the pleasure of being close beside her.
