Unseen

It’s a worthwhile to fight for

but remember to be soft and kind

to those who have been through too much.

The road’s not always filled with trenches

but also a long walk through the dark forest

mingling among the crowd with or without anonymity

and sometimes waiting for the sun to rise.

Remember to love.

Seek its profoundness.

Believe in its path.

Mastery

RalphLeave a comment

As I ran uphill on this mountain

I wondered what all this was for.

Was it glory

Maybe pleasure

Or survival

But in the end

It was about who I am

And what meaning I wanted to make

With the remaining time that I have.

So I remembered you

And maybe our meeting was meaningless

But some part of me wants to believe

That it mattered

No matter how much time has passed.

So I rise again.

Because I believe in us.

순간

RalphLeave a comment

일분 일포가 아까운 이 순간에도

너를 생각했다.

아마 내 선택할 수 있진 않은것 같다.

오래전 이야기이지만

마음이 따뜻해졌다.

이 순간을 위해서 기다리고 있었던 기억일지도 모르겠다.

너는, 살아있다.

지금 이 순간, 살아있다.

나는 그 사실을 감사히 여기고 있다.

North

You were there.

Nested in my memory

in spite of everything that has happened,

you were there.

I remember your peculiar smile,

your story you told as a monologue,

and the music you listened to.

Your honesty, nostalgia, and rebellion resonated with something I held dearly.

I wonder if we are sinking deeper

into the soul we’ve been searching for.

I decided to take a step forward.

Only in the end, we will see what each of us has worked on.

Paths

RalphLeave a comment

May we find our paths intertwine again.

As the dusk settles into dark ocean

plunging the world into the unknown

each of us can only brace ourselves

as we tread into the uncharted territory

with a hint of a promise of the light

signaling the end of the tunnel.

Perhaps we should’ve stayed together longer

but alas, time does not await for us.

May you be safe in heart, mind, and body.

Tribe

You matter to me.

Despite our differences,

there’s a kindred soul I see.

Beyond knowledge, beyond preferences,

beyond labels and languages,

I acknowledge the immovable presence.

Not out of a need to belong to a herd

do we align in formation as a pack,

but rather in reverence to a certain world,

a way of living that we respect,

and a credo we believe and follow

that we form a resonant bond.

Communion

RalphLeave a comment

On a dry, hot summer day,

a meal was shared

rekindling memories, celebrating what is present,

and imagining a story for the future

originating from the lore of the past.

Alliances were confirmed,

and respects were paid

to each one’s past sufferings.

Laying down lazily in the chair,

we shared what we cared about,

all the while knowing the end is just there.

Merrily, we said goodbyes,

shook hands and share hugs,

and walked out into the dark, humid summer night

to face the new days to come.

Wind

Let the wind come.

Lift your heart up into the air,

leaping into the unknown.

Embrace the nature

smoothly reaching to maturity

while belonging to a community.

Remember who you are connected to

and the warmth that has been shared.

“Be kind to yourself” is what she told you.

Hope that stays with you through this rain storm.
