Mid-term is so last season! We’re onto
papers now… hopefully all the research is done. Now for editing and reediting,
and formatting them just right. When I think that it has only been about three
months, I am astounded! So much has happened. I feel like I’m a much larger
person – not in a physical aspect, not merely mentally, but wholly larger. I have
much inside me that wasn’t here before. Here’s one example… a poem
that has been brewing of late:
Leaves are fascinating.
For the most part they are pretty and green,Silently proclaiming praise,
And something about recycling air.
Somewhere in each leaf’s lifetime,
It loses all but radiates homage instead,
Resplendent.
The landscapes are steeped in colour.
No one leaf is quite like another,
And none remains as is for long.
In one final act of beauty and service
They lose themselves completely
And fall to the ground,
A sacrificial carpet lining the streets
On which the Bride of Glory treads.
