Desertion


Deep in the desert amongst the foxes and vultures
I hear your voice in the wind, whispering in my ear.
Deep in the desert amongst the wolves and the antelope
I feel your warm touch in the sun, caressing my skin.
Deep in the desert amongst the clouds in the sky
I see your eyes in the stars, illuminating the horizon
Deep in the desert amonst the sediments of sand
I feel your heartbeat with mine in the palm of my hand

And One...


Once upon a time I coached a boys basketball team at a Scarborough middle school. These talented gentlemen played with so much heart, soul, and genuine love for the game that it pained me when the season ended. One of our best players Ian (#31 shown above), got Scarlet Fever midway through the season. During his first game back, I watched Ian aka "FEVER" by his teammates, score ten three pointers without breaking a sweat. It's moments like this that remind me how lucky I am to be a teacher.
