Summa Cum Laude...

In the Hall of Science
listening to the silence looming,
the light of Bunsen burner
reflected in the windows
as i feel the Chemistry
between my lab partner and me
Thoughts turn to Biology,
the Circle of Life, the birds and bees
feeling that familiar weakness in my knees
ah, the Law of Attraction...

In the Halls of Literature,
reading the Greats
but searching for my own signature
listening to the pages flutter
sitting together, but miles from each other
as the words carry us to other worlds or other times
or poetic musings and images sublime

What will you learn in the Halls of Academia?
The world lies gleaming at your feet
but, first, find what is in you
Love to learn, learn what you love
Know what lies beneath the Truth
try to find a way above
Separate the wheat from chaff
for not all learn from good example
Learn not how to earn a living
learn what you need to live...
