My Clipboard

I held you in my arms
You held my homework sheets
I wrote on you
You wrote on my dreams
With a dark blue coat
You are the deep night sky
Like wind across the stream
Gently smell the ink
When I was in line,
Waiting for my lunch
Or when I sat on my bed
Watching drowsy light of sunset
Sweeping my dorm
I wrote childlike words
Sketched people

Day after day
You were always with me
Step by step
Witnessed my progress
I bade farewell to three years
Left time behind
Took you aside
Everything is new
But you
Telling my middle school stories
Saving my memory
