You Are My Teacher
yes more often than
not when i wonder who you are
i realize you
are my teacher my love
you have come to
teach me i have come to learn the sky a new mexico blue
the clouds with
silver linings mountains dark blues the landscape golden
touched with greens
and red the night time cool the air fresh and clean
you sing to me you
lay it before me sometimes i am slow to learn
i stumble you
break my heart and stand laughing
it's all a big
joke don't take it seriously learn and turn the page

Such beautiful images here.. you really make it all come alive :D
I love the switch from identifying the teacher to listing the detailed colors and coolness and even the moments of doubt. Turning the page and moving on! Oh, I've had to do that with those who came and went in my life, having taught and learned what they wished. It's harder in relationships that are closer than teacher/student, but somehow we survive.
If you have a teacher that laughs at you, I am sorry. That can be so eroding. That part really made me sad.
The first part, the realization they were a teacher and opening your eyes to the world. Love that.
I love the description of the desert - and your "learn and turn the page."
In life we live and we learn....from life itself and from the people we hold dear. Wonderfully written, thanks for sharing!
No teacher should ridicule a student but I know it happens. Those aren't the sorts that should be teaching. We don't always get what we need from the school system.
I once had a teacher that I was afraid of, it took me a long time to turn the page after that one
"don't take it seriously learn and turn the page"...this needs to be done against those who ridicule...
The world is perhaps the best, worse and only teacher...turning the page is always good..and links perfectly to your Facebook post...new page mean new maybe even better things xo
We learn so much from the ones we choose to love, and perhaps that is the major lesson to be learned in loving at all?

Even though I think much of life is a joke (and a not very funny one, at that), I am still learning and turning the page. Great write, Annell!
To Teach the Humble
I think, when we keep coming to learn as you describe, what we learn is joy.
