A lost opportunity

I know deep within me,
I lost an opportunity,
A moment of time painful,
When I was too afraid, too timid,
When I lost a moment,
An inflection point in life,
Never to return…
 
He made an offer, open,
One that I could not comprehend,
How it would all work out,
I was ambivalent, uncertain,
And he was at that moment driven,
He had no time to wait, impatient,
For my fear to be abated.

A lost opportunity
 
Talking in 2010 to person
who suggested identifying 9 people
to look at 1,000 of my poems each,
to determine which might good
enough to be published.
I never pursued it.
I actually tried to talk with them
as they walked to their car…
