HALLS OF LEARNING
(FOR MARY)
I fell in love with you in a platonic way
Was sorry we never waltzed together
For a teacher you were real cool
I sat on the edge of your desk at the end of the day
As we watched the afternoon shadows
Fade to their deaths in the courtyard.
We talked and we talked
And our minds waltzed
And we shared the joys of teacher and disciple
The desire for knowledge became a yearning.
And like a fire we kept tt burning.
i fell in love with you in a meaningful way
In a master and apprentice way.
There you set my wheels of thought turning
In the majestic halls of learning.
tt was thereIn we wrote the truth
In flames that flickered in my mind
Flames that glow and cannot die
As they paint a tapestry in the blazing night sky
I fell in love with you in a permanent way
In a friendly mentor/pupil way.
For a teacher you were real cool
And I am still in love with you
In a scholarly way of course.
