What's missing -- feels like there's something missing --
The capacity is there -- the job's not stressful but
I somehow fail at the ignition stage - all this
fuel just sitting around -- un-utilized potential
How do I light that fire? Set it ablaze
in a daze caught up in the haze of comfort
I need to challenge myself, raising tides lift
all boats, but they also drown 
livestock
cows, horses, and goats, seeking refuge in hills
that once covered in grass now fill up like
lifeboats. 
Doctors in white coats 
say "Keep your spirits up" -- hope floats.
