when opportunity knocks

You don't just sit around
and wait for good things to happen
you are not a coral
waiting for the waves to feed you

You may have dreams, high and lofty
but you sit still, low and modest
you are not a flake
with the character of anti gravity

A red and shiny candy
at the tip of your tongue
will fail to be sweet
if you don't roll out your tongue
to savour the favour

When opportunity knocks
break a sweat
to grab what is in front
don't let it get away
drawn out by the waves
or flown into oblivion by the winds
