| I've Let My Hair Grow Out May, 2003 I've let my hair grow out again Seems long since last I knew The feel of it below my head. The time of it is due. I roll and strands cross now my face. They tease my mouth and nose. Sometimes I blow and watch them fall. Sometimes they're just too close. I relish in the permanence. I linger on the thought. I wonder what I'd do without This newfound glory got. The streaks of grey now speak to me And offer wisdom true. Their stories are intoxicating And next I must now do. I open up my eyes as if Awaking from a dream And though my heart knows truth at last Still I can't help what seems To be a tear perched on my lid Awaiting sight of you. And as I see you lying there, It knows just what to do. My life is now complete because My quest has been fullfilled. My promise for your future Is yours, forever still. ~ the Professor |

| On my birthday this year, I was welcomed by a very special card, an e-card actually. You see, my love and I are separated by several miles and e-mail becomes our sheltered companion. At any rate, she sent me the most wonderful card I have ever read, and as of this moment, I am still floating in the clouds. I love her with all that is in my very heart and soul. Should she know? Believe me, I think she already does.... The following lines were written in response to that e-card. |
