Opportunity

Like a flash of lightening
Brandishing the sky
His richness in splendour-enchanting
More than money could buy!

Reach out to Him! He's within your grasp
Can't you feel His presence?
Languish not for time to elapse
Before you embrace His imminence!

I come and go
I come but once
Seize me! Oh seize my soul
Before my foe puts you in a trance!

I come like one in guise
That's what I am: a flash in a pan!
My craters of regret are deep in demise
Caress me! Oh my beloved!
Feast on me as much as you can!

Johannes Yeboah
