This will get me into trouble, but sometimes you need to clear the head! It is reasonably quiet in here at the moment, but that is a rarity. You do wonder what is going on when it is quiet, however nice it may be! Most teachers would be worried if everything was quiet, because it would mean that something had happened, and the class were quiet, thinking it wouldn't draw attention to them!
I'll put a few more poems on here...
Sand
Fine specks
Golden, warm
So fine.
A gentle breeze
Or a warm but sharp wind
Blows grains their thousands
Slowly, everything around
Is the same
It is still there
But has been subsumed
By something so fragile
It can irritate, blind
Can make skin sore
And feet burn
But with the lapping ocean
And the warm sun
It can be a dream….

Lunar Magic & Mystery
Like a torch in the sky
Except it never breaks down
It is only extinguished by cloud, momentarily
Its glow is, in the same breath
Eerie, painting everything yellow
And mystical, dusting everything with sparkle
Fairies!
Their presence hidden
Seen fleetingly, fluttering, then vanishing
But visible, like ink or UV light
As dots with glittering wings
All this, this fantastical world
But the light is real
It is there, in the sky
And sometimes, just for a moment
The moon smiles at me.

I need peace
Sleep is obviously not
Helping my patience
Please God, Michael, Jafadriel
Give me peace and calm
I feel the emotion building up
Behind my eyes
I must control it, and it hurts
Young people are a challenge
But to see them succeed
Against a barrage of criticism
Makes the job worth doing
I am an embarrassment
To a place that prides itself
On encouraging the positive
I cannot do this, it seems
Please, Our loving Father and angels above
Help me to overcome
The feeling I have right now
Of wanting to bang my head against or on
A very hard surface
I'm done for now.
