Empty campus

Lawns soaked

With morning dew

Silence

Covering all

The morning sum

Poking over buildings

In the distance

Crisp, clean, fresh

Air fills my lungs

Tranquilly

Suddenly

From the buildings

A ringing chime

Fills the ears

Of thousands

Automatically,

A rush of sound

And chaos

Fills the quiet

As thousands

Of students

Rush from class

To class

A thousand students

A thousand

Shoes

A thousand

Shirts and

Colors and

Moods

A thousand

Looks,

A thousand

Eyes

A sea

Of eyes peering

At me, washing

Over me,

But not seeing

Anything

Just one of their

Own

Just another one

Thousands of faces,

All different

Different colors,

And shades of hair:

Blue, pink, red, brown,

Blond, auburn, green, black

A thousand hearts

A thousand souls

A thousand hopes and dreams

As they all

Settle in their

Seats,

All becomes silent again,

Until

The next bell rings.
