What do you think this poem is about?

(Sieze The Moment)

Life is an open field opportunities,
as each of us was born of abilities.
The challenges are bare to conquer,
by anyone who dares not to feel fear.

Success is like a tall tree bearing fruits,
golden rewards await one who pursuits;
and accepts the tasks to tackle the truth.
To win, one has to earn the prize's worth.

At times one is given an opportune time,
where chances are laid before us so fine.
That only fools can not grasp the guarantee,
and fail to understand the freedom at spree.

If opportunity lays down at your feet,
seize the moment always go for it!
The courageous one gets the prize,
even love can be taken in a surprise.

    great in it's consice, image filled communication of a deep message
    I agree with your previous commentor in that your poem relates a good/important message. I find myself comparing it to another poem i read earlier today on the same topic with completely different imagery. Both of your poems have in common the advice to overcome fear in order to reach the entirely possible opportunities ahead (which i agree with and always love to hear about since i think we are all constantly trying to move past fear) . You have not read the other poem, but i will say that your images are much more appropriate and so well described and expanded upon.
    sorry for such a ranting comment, lovely work
