Classroom Canopy

our daily lessons under an ancient oak
natural stone bench where we sit and joke
rhythm of life , laughter pursued
as warm wind currents , our hearts imbued

the world can appear as a cold , dank cave
until the light of understanding opens the way
learning to simplify insightful directions
positive projection , our love's injection
against fears soul damaging dark infection
derelict behaviors avoid reflection

the pool of self a constant reminder
to live each moment a little kinder
we forget those day's as children play
must avoid a life of disarray

our daily lessons under an ancient oak
natural stone bench where we sit and joke
rhythm of life , laughter pursued
as warm wind currents , our hearts imbued

sunbeams streaming between the clouds
angel's singing high above the crowd
choir's announcement of things to come
the chosen few , view , majestic love
lessons learned are lessons gained
gathering of like personalities fain.......
