Ode to my Morning Walks to Class

My eyes tingle as they’re struck by the potent morning light

I tread along the well-known sidewalk and check the clock

Plug my headphones in

To the same playlist I’ve been listening to all month

 

I walk

I turn my head to both sides, I cross

And I keep on walking

 

With no one at all whom to talk

Nature whispers to me

Indistinct words far from my knowledge

 

My body welcomes the warm gentle hugs from above

As I wake up to my own free thoughts chirping like the birds above

 

My blood keeps pumping down my veins

My eyes look back to the traveled path

To think a little

To breathe a little

To walk a little

 

I hear the faint voices and gaze out to the gate

My thoughts are gone, my world is gone

I’m sucked back to reality

I’m ready to start
