Opportunity

laid before us

in the language

of wasted years

a lifetime passes


opportunity is right

outside the door

it waits without

knocking

It's very true Forrest Pasky, many a time opportunities are right within reach, but we never seize them, because there is no knock . . . we simply never open the door to see what lies behind; and long can be the years spent in an ivory tower:) Amitiés

Eight lines that say so much Forrest, I'm breaking that door down for my opportunity. Good write.
