Position

Standing in the flow of life I seem indifferent, yet I’m aware
Of all that passes by me; I breathe tranquil without err.

Many do not understand the serenity of my stillness.

Believing my inaction will never bring success.

But positioning and timing, these two things I know

Will alert me to the chances that travel within the flow.

I am prepared on approach to grasp with deliberation,

All opportunities evade escape; I have no hesitation.

But my patience brings repayment for prospect changes life.

And for those I know or know not yet help to ease each other’s strife.

Then once again, I take position; I am vigilant, prepared, aware,

Able to seize the next occasion, to use it, and to share.
