a teacher

a teacher

A thicket thrives

on opinions

many and varied

which bring many

to sorrowed walk..

A foreboding

as expectations are

darkly dismissed 

for that teacher's 

  momentary crossing

of ones path.. 

Those opinions 

multiple on multiple

each person met

adds one more

a growing collection..

Might we find a

 more ready awareness

Joyful surprise awaits

expecting the teacher's
fleeting appearance
on crossing paths...
