Their names will never be forgotten. Justin, Kyle, Sean, Ryan, Carter, and Janice.

Teaching in a Public High School for over 25 years has its joys and perils. This is an homage to Teen Suicide and the spirit of life here on the planet that forever weaves physical and spiritual realms together.
Their souls are forever in flight amidst the pumpkins and tricks and treats of the season. Blessed be their souls and all those of Suicide Manifestation.

Morning breaks
The classroom is ready
Students arrive
We each bring our true selves
The joys and the pains
The hidden secrets that no one speaks
Every. Single. Day.

We teach and we learn
Together
From each other
Give and take- a balance
We laugh and we cry
We share our days
We try to move forward in our lives.

Morning breaks
The classroom is ready
Over the years
More desks are empty
Their true selves lost
The hidden reality
for fear of inspiring others
Not a soul in sight.
