Students

Each of us holds a key

To knowing ourselves

We operate by a simple logic

Grooming our moments to shine

Yet how is it that

Like a machine that rattles

With misstep

Our lives become entangled

By hardship

Ill feelings

Wild notions

Fearful reckonings

~

For a moment we are left in pause

Searching for solace

Seeking out our friends

To respond with dignity

When seconds earlier

Our lives were muddied in peril

Worry alone people tell

Each other

One, another

Independent encounters

We are driven

By passions

Occasionally misaligned

~

Our lives are sudden

Responses to the environment

That naturally exists around us

Ever blanketing our human condition

Always eschewing beauty in song

Slight winds coveted skies

We live amongst certain delight

And when letting go

Life happens in genuine Glory

In quiet we become learned souls
