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...
