When That Opportune Time Arrives

As the mind grows

In preparation towards

Strengthening ourselves for

A speculative tomorrow

Seconds will turn into minutes

Minutes will turn into hours

Hours will turn into days

Days will turn into weeks

Yet weeks will turn into months

As months will turn into years

When That Opportune Time Arrives

For our personal resurgence

We shall fly away peacefully

Like doves without earthly ties

To the lies & compliance’s

Of our estranged world today

Unless like an a*s we miss our opportunity because our eyes are closed...like an ostrich with our heads in the sand...thus the very reason time stretched out so long in the first place...just saying :)

[Leandro Mendez]

this was a great reminder :) awesome work!

[Dana Alsamsam]

your poetry always has a succinct message. i think many are searching for that opportune time or that time when they finally feel free. a journey to self actualization. sometimes i think we create that perfect moment for ourselves. great work!

Great poem:) "Like doves without earthly ties" great verse:)

[Rita L. Sev]

And we will never know exactly when that opportune time will arrive, so its best to be prepared... A good message, as always, BP!

[Girl Friday (Sarah W.)]

I liked this one, BP. As always, you have a message, which I enjoyed. We do all sort of float through life until it is time for that "final resurgence" into the great beyond. Though, metaphorically, this can be seen as perhaps a time of enlightenment instead of earthly death. My favorite bit of the piece is the last section where you speak in imagery of "flying away peacefully"...very sublime.

Last line--did you mean "estranged" ? Not sure...it just seems to flow better, but if it was intentional, disregard this suggestion, because both would probably fit.

Thanks for catching that Girl Friday, I fell victim to the silly typo. I did mean "estranged". I fixed it, and thanks again too for your wonderful review. Much appreciated. :)

Indeed, "When that oppotune time arrives for our personal resurgence we shall fly away peacefully" Splendid read and write.
