The Enchanting Air Dances A Whispering Tune

Carbon Copy

Within each event
I must determine if I am
the student or the teacher!

Listening allows me
to accept the role of student
as I learn something new.

Leading by example
with honesty, compassion,
love and justice, while using
my experiences as a guide...
makes me a teacher in life.

People
both young and old
color is not a factor
certainly not their gender
nor the part of their hair,
emulate our actions and words.
Be it love or hate
truth or lies, kindness or abuse
justice or unfairness
subconsciously
I learn, act, perceive
and copy what I see
to be repeated...
time and time again,
therefore I teach
without teaching.

What am I teaching?
What can I learn?
What is repeated...
time and time again?
