A Woody Morning Poem by Joshua Benjamin

Awakening from my irresistible hibernation, I beheld the sparkling morning smiling right at me.
Reluctant to leave the embrace of my mattress; Time whispered the urgency to be prepared for the educative box.
Arising in disgust at my laziness, I took a very slow flight to the cleaning chambers to attend to my royal earth;
Done with such an ethical task, my garments patiently waited for me within my private walls. And soon, my heels received marching orders to the bus station.
In the long rectangle with gigantic legs, I met similar breathing earth- above all young Asian entities with milky skins- alas my classmates
Moving on, I landed within the walls of knowledge to receive Sophia and what a day once again with the epitome of walking knowledge himself- the professor.
Desperately praying for time to race with speed, I anticipated a break in endless time and soon it came. What an amazing decision to explore nature's beauty- a path lined up on both sides with gorgeous woody trees. Such a beautiful sight.
My face couldn't help but borrow the radiance of the shaded sun for a while. Probably the moon hiding its face in celestial envy of the brightness of my joy with my dearest friends. Laughter was intoxicating even with the merciless cold…. My facial nerves excited like a photon.
A picture here, a picture there… all by the hands of a daring Sri Lankan. Then the resonating smile of an Indonesian and an intimidating pose from a Nepalese, all a display of true happiness in true friendship.
What a hope that it remains a happily ever after with my friends. Indeed, it was a woody morning for me.
