Each second arrives dressed in possibility,

then slips away before I can learn its name.

Time does not wait for hesitation

it dances, it dares, it disappears.

So I reach,

through the noise, through the doubt,

through the masks I sometimes forget I’m wearing,

to catch what passes,

to hold what almost wasn’t.

Because opportunity does not knock twice here.

It glides past in silk and shadow,

and only those willing to move,

to risk,

to see beyond the illusion...

get to follow its lead.
