BEACH PARTY (pupil to teacher)
I have been doused in the joy of your teaching
And the glee of the firelight of learning that twinkles in your eye
My final year is full
Full to the fat brim
My heart well beyond gorged with life and love to do
You gave me such sweet sparks to set flame
A chocolatey marshmellow of learning
Sticky rich with ideas and bounce
Melting slip by slopping drop
Running down the little coloured candles
Marking through my time
This time indeed
Happy in the hearts and minds of mates
With friends
Long from here
My thoughts will dance a light fantastic
Around this blaze
As the beach party crackles
Hooting and a hollering as the ocean rolls to my shore
Later than now, I will sit and story through the warm breeze and the embers
With like minds, where you set the beat
My foot falls amongst these flickers
Where the fire started
And the party really began to swing
Somewhere out there in the distance
Far and away by then
I will still be dancing to a rhythm of you.
