OPPORTUNITIES

Opportunities fly in
like little birds
on the window sill,
run fast
get a glimpse
or
they’ll fly away
if you’re still.

They twitter
all around
about lucky deals,
strain your ears
catch the sounds
or
they’ll fly away
if you’re not around.

Feed them morsels
of attention and creativity
or
they’ll fly away
in a jiffy.
