Opportunity Appears
Tell me more about he who I can be.
He that is me in another land.
We are taught by the great minds
“Man Know Thyself”
Bring wisdom, for in my search what I find
is seldom what was looked for.
There must be a land where the answer really does appear,
before the question is asked.
Teach me to move towards that alternative.
I watch opportunity come closer, then closer still.
It stands there silent and unbending to my will.
A shadowy figure — resplendent in its vagueness,
Forever silent, powerful in greatness.
It arrives. We gaze at each other —
in the fading light of sunset.
Then we continue
through the darkness of evening
where the illusion of opportunity
takes on new significance.
Further into the dawn and early morning.
The awakening!
Meeting the opportunity full on
Like the gale force wind into a fully dropped sail.
