Once upon the stars
A shadow came out to play
But afraid of the dark
All the others stayed away.
Once upon the land
The shadow continued destroyed
Looking for anyone
To fill the empty void.
Once upon the sound
Death was wondering along
She came across the shadow
And asked her what was wrong.
Once upon the moon
The shadow discouraged said
You had better stay away
Because of my darkness they fled.
Once upon the night
Death understood her sorrow
Death took her hand and walked
The shadow following in tow.
Once upon the light
The shadow didn’t understand Death
Didn’t see why she wasn’t afraid
When all the others wouldn’t listen to a single breath.
Once upon the ground
Death brought them to her safe place
The shadow voiced her confusion
Death answered with grace.
Once upon a time
Darkness was my friend
When all the others left us for the light
I promised on me she could depend
So here we are tonight
No matter who comes or goes
You can stay here with me
For us this is home.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
