Excitement By: Osahon Belo-Osagie '24 My friend, Excitement, was destined to bring happiness, The waves shimmering and glistening, The seagulls singing and dancing, I clapped and twirled around the sandy shores, Filled with rapture, In a blink of an eye, Excitement bursts into Exhilaration. However, everything swiftly overturned. Darkness overshadowed Exhilaration, And Excitement passed away, Tears fell from the waves and sky, The seagulls flew away, With terror in their eyes. I trembled and shook, In an instant, Darkness evolved to Woe. However, everything swiftly overturned, Excitement came back from the grave, And outshone Woe, Confused, I wondered, What if the darkness returned? But my gut knew my friend, Excitement, would prevail.
