350 a Teacher loves the peace and storm

The peace of an early school morning.
The halls are still,
the bells, silent.
The calm before the storm.

I love the extremes,
the peace and the storm.
The former is readiness for learning,
the latter, wrestling with the change.

I shall miss both,
when I retire from the fray,
the braced anticipation,
and the chaotic, lovely day.
