UA Huntsville Poem (College Poetry)

*UAHuntsville*

Charge to your completion,
volts mix not with water but with secretion,
Electricity’s best when it is wet
Drenched from the charge of the
Workman’s sweat.
Allow it to flow onto
Big Springs
onward to merge into
Big Things
that remain in the current of charmed Huntsville,
Living throughout
The knowledge hunt’s kill.
Let yourself come loose through Big Spring Jam,
and arrive where “Want to Be” progresses to “Am.”
Huntsville is where electricity is felt through scenery,
and at Charger Union there is transparency
through the glass, the horses, the whole atmosphere,
that this school is for discovery of who you’re meant to be.
Do not let life pass by on highways of what ifs,
take charge & directions in finding your gifts,
Run unplugged till the drive is felt, and then:
Go. Where You.
Begin.
