Middlesex Our College
Like the simple-celled life
nurtured by water earth
and sunlight
shaped knitted by the mingling
currents of oceanic ice and fire
life shooting out
in endless forms shaped by
a burst to live
Middlesex, our college,
was stirred into being
by our first maker
Frank Chambers,
chambered nautilus,
nurturing life bits
into rich Pearls;
young veterans, soldiers
of an ancient war,
mothers, daughters,
grandmothers and
grandfathers-
god’s children of all ages
and forms and shapes-
settling into our wide fields
unblemished Eden
of trees and flowers,
and classrooms
like sacristy
and temple
where students slowly grow
into healers
caring for
a wider world
by Emanuel diPasquale
