Orchards of Opportunity

Orchards of Opportunity Alone in the orchard of opportunities surveying the ripened potential I pondered the fruitful labor of others enviously sniffing the succulence of success. Knowing that their success was only mine in theory, in dreams, in unlimited potential. Before me lay the future’s untilled fields awaiting a touch, a vision, an awakening. Planting a thought, a theory, an inspiration, tending it, winnowing the weeds of doubt, nurturing a simple truth long dormant in the arable corners of an open mind. 10/24/2016 submitted to – Opportunities – Poetry Contest
