Lo! The midnight sky entrancing,
‘Neath the moon the treetops dancing.
Howling in the bitter cold,
The winds of change doth surely blow.
Often I have duly squandered,
Mid-light as my mind has wandered,
The moonlight peeking through the haze,
The clouds absconding it away.
On the breeze the Jasmine lingers,
Swiftly slipping through my fingers.
A presence I could never constrain,
But traces of, I may yet retain.
Indulging my musings at such an hour,
The genesis of thoughts my mind devours.
The frost gently nipping at my ears,
In the twilight of my golden years.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
