CHANCES ARE

To me it’s neither a window nor a door
This thing called opportunity
It’s a cloud, a bubble, foam on the shore
Of nature’s recurring serendipity
You will get chances to rise
And you will get chances to fall
Which one of these two you utilise
Well, that is your call.

Che Chidi Chukwumerije
Poems from the inner river

SOME COME, SOME GO

Talk to the clouds
As you would talk to a departed friend
As you would write to a distant lover
As you would whisper to your future
Quietly within your heart.

For they are dreams
Gathering on the roof of your destiny
And they shall rain upon you
Or they shall disperse and quietly disappear –
Some are fulfilled, some are not. This is life.

Che Chidi Chukwumerije
