Eyes do not shut,
We stare attentively,
At the chalkboards,
Behind our eyelids,
And wait,
Wait,
Wait,
Till the chalk etched dreams,
Become real,
And fill the board,
With your ideals and fears,
With your joy and terrors,
With your love and hate,
And when the admiration ends,
We wash our boards clean,
And hold on to images,
As they slip away.
