A Latent Love

Oh, what in life can compare to Ms. Boyd?
Books to take me in, to take me away.
Oblivious, my thoughts, trapped in the void,
For when they leave, life fades to shades of grey.
To climb the heights, the world arrayed below,
Brings wondrous peace and exhilaration.
The feel of straining muscles as I go
Heightens the feel of such elevation.
Oh, food, thou art a wondrous diversion,
So frequently dismissed as commonplace,
Yet bringing such passionate immersions.
Because of thee, I tend to stuff my face.
Yet of all these I have in life enjoyed,
None can compare with thee, sweet Donna Boyd.

I wanted to gain some brownie points with my teacher and express some of the things I enjoy in life. I wanted to convey my interest in those things to the readers.

"Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." -Lord Alfred Tennyson
