Why am I not excited?

Why then am I not excited

Isn’t this the journey I wanted

More challenges, a canvas more colorfully painted

Why does this dream feel a little dented?

Why then am I not excited

Certainly the prospect is still far from blighted

No danger nor risk expected or sighted

Where has it crept from this feeling slighted?

Why then am I not excited

It was always uncertain I had debated

But the chance was definitely highly rated

Why has some passion abated?

Why then am I not excited

For greener pastures am I fated

How long before I seize her, the destiny who waited

Will I continue or shall I allow to be baited?

Why then am I not excited

Is it real or in my heart created?

This silhouette of opportunity the desire heated

May this fire foment unabated

Wonder for what am I really slated

That keeps me charged and always excited...
