learnt
lessons
are often
forgotten,
in the hope
that those
who taught
you yours,
in the passing
might have learnt
a few
of their own,
but yours
were never
about them
anyways,
them were just
a channel
to guide you
to yours,
your changed visions
will remain
invisible
to their eyes,
but your footsteps
will feel
surer
on the ground,
its not
the teacher
that is ever
at fault,
its the learner
who needs
to realise
within,
which teacher
will repeat
a lesson
again,
for time is short
and so many more
teachers
to learn from.

This poetry brought to my mind all of my teachers and mentors….some of whom I continue to admire, some I am not sure if I should have. A very thoughtful poem indeed Vidur.

You brought lots of thoughts. I tutor and have taught and the happiest moments are seen in the child/person’s eyes. They leave with a spring in their step. This brings sunshine to my heart as well. I try hard to stay positive as I roll boulders up the hill. I always feel threatened they will roll back on me. 💛🎶

Some do, some don’t….and sometimes, one just has to learn, to step aside. 🙂

Can’t disagree with that thought but it begs the enormous life question that bares no easy answers.
Your words are edgy to me this morning so I am sure the ideas expressed, as well as my reaction, will ring in my head all day. Not sure why but that is what I need to figure out. Anyhow, great writing as always. 🙂

I agree…the real solutions are far more difficult to figure out. My apologies if I seemed to trivialise something which I didn’t intend to 🙂

Oh, by no means do not apologize. You have your thoughts and I love to read them. My thoughts should sometimes be quiet and not interfere. 🙂
