Learning Curve

Ships sail afar on deep blue Mar.
People learn just who they are.

A scholar reads a great man’s memoir,
Then proudly pursues his diploma.

A  prisoner sees beyond cell bars,
To learn the history of Oklahoma.

A nurse reaches for the distant stars,
To integrate mind and soma.

A patient’s behavior occurs anything but bizarre,
With deep sedation in a coma.

Sing, beat a drum, strum your guitar,
Just smell our garden’s sweet aroma.
