Opportunity Poems - Poems about Opportunity

One Small Step, One Giant Leap
With those who want to test the waters, and yet have no wish to get their feet wet, but wait to have their cake (and eat it too) handed to them on a plate, I will neither split hairs and pick nits nor reason or debate (or tear their thoughts to bits) so, if they're going to 'fly', (jump to a conclusion) either do it or don't, as Yoda said,...

Premium Member Should I Share My Thoughts
Dare I show others, what it is I see? A path one may take, to set themselves free. The words that I speak, should give them a clue, Open a doorway for them to go through. By offering others an explanation. Each one can see their part of creation. I will share with them the thoughts of my soul, To them the...

Wishful Thinking
I don't wanna be a wannabe no more waiting for opportunity to come a'knocking on my open door and the day she does tho' the lights are on there's no one home as I'll probably be out to lunch knowing me so I wanna see 'Been there, done that!' on my resumé because I'm oh-so tired of being a never-was ...

The knocking
the door is being knocked, For ages, it has remained closed Who is there? The Sun looks The Breeze Halts Tulips raise their heads in delight But the Cascade still flows on Humming like an indifferent Bee Knock - knock - knock How persistent the knocking is... But who comes calling? Through the peepholes, its light spills in The Valley enlightes with joy Old Cider tree opens its...

Word-Weary
I don't choose the muse the muse chooses me but when I need her most then whereabouts is she abandoned and self-mocked not word one could I pen with writer's block my fate cast to the wind but if the wraith had knocked as does opportunity I couldn't tell on the other hand her silence rings a bell so left to my own devices of weft warp and weave forged...

Opportunity, not obstacles
Two hearts lost to love Our dreams writ across the skies, A flight of Sun and Moon, Bringing opportunity, not obstacles Beguiling reality, so vivd Yet unreal simultaneously Are we caught in mirror's gaze Movement from the corner of an eye Senses prickling with realisation Have we truly waited this long To find and be found Did fate flinch for us Navigating by the...

The Door of Uncertainty
The Door of Uncertainty what's behind it, no one knows the places it will lead you or the opportunities it holds The Door of Uncertainty will you twist it's knob or will you leave it untouched scared for what could be behind The Door of Uncertainty a place of unknown but, if no one takes the risk how are we gonna know The Door of Uncertainty where one...

The Provisions
Freedom provides the option To thrive while unrestrained By individual circumstances By the self-serving demands of others By our own compelling pain Freedom provides an opening For truth to roam free Sometimes hurting, sometimes humbling, sometimes healing Sometimes returning to its owner A long-lost key Freedom provides an opportunity To test the boundaries of our souls To examine the framework of our egos To recalculate the sum of...

I Flew the International Route
I flew the international route Had an epiphany, no doubt Surrounded, the mix of folks Of ages, languages, life walks What if we suddenly can share One intellection, maybe pair? A story from a distant nook Earth’s wisdom, ready for a book Of money, family and love Tradition, habit thereof, How we can learn, and why we don’t? Out of indifference, we wouldn’t This plane,...

Premium Member Missed Opportunity
two gorgeous people passed on the street one She wondered, is that gorgeous man carrying a purse? He thought she was the epitome of gorgeous He wanted to turn for another look, but thought better of it Two lonely people Strangers Who had a lot in common and could have shared a dog But they kept walking Opportunity Lost...

Traveling far, far away from home Leaving family and friends to roam Did not expect changes it would bring To a life feeling apathy’s sting Had much pity from which to borrow Saw no bright future into tomorrows Never thought to make goals or form dreams Caught in a trap of daily routines Knew nothing beyond my locale Blind to the avenues I had Just...
