Remembrance

February 8, 2026 RalphLeave a comment

Let’s sit here for now

and enjoy this warm golden sunset.

The air might get chilly,

but let’s enjoy our time here now.

I can share my coat,

and we can use it as a blanket.

Oh, I found a stick, by the way,

and you know what? I loved it.

I loved it like I loved one like it as a ten year old kid.

I waved it around, bouncing it on the ground

and felt like it was cool

how I could be as childish as I want

and no one could care about it.

It even felt mischievous, thrilling, and freeing.

I am enjoying our journey, really.

Who would’ve known it’ll be like this?

Kudos for sticking it out for this long.

For many more years to come,

may we enjoy our journey getting along.

Mountains

Just keep taking one step after another.

As long as the chest breaths,

as long as the heart beats,

keep going.

“It’s a mountain after mountain”

but if you love the mountain

wouldn’t this be wonderful after all?

Remember yourself.

Talk to your younger self

and let him know you are here.

In spite of all of the things that happened,

you have withstood and change what you could.

Because of those times, you now understand

what it means to begin again and again.

Thank yourself

for holding on.

Coming years may still be tough,

I am grateful to be here, where I am.

As the new sun arises,

a new map is drawn.

A vision foresees the future

and steers the ship forward.

Believe you will arrive,

and prepare for the rocky road.

Together

Nothing was built alone.

Everyone along the way gave me something.

The heart-to-heart talks warmed my soul.

Their voice, their words, and their gestures

are what I will carry in my heart.

When the time comes, I will land my voice, too.

It’s a humbling journey graced with honors.

I will remember my humble beginning

and keep on growing, moving forward.

Step

Starting from the smallest thing,

we grow bit by bit.

Building the foundations,

humbly we take our first step.

In this attempt, memories are filled with gratitude.

Those who gave a landing hand,

those who helped us grow,

and those who led the way.

Mindful of those around me

I take my first step.

Peeling away the doubt,

reaching out the hand returns warm brightness.

We understood better, the vulnerability of life.

Compassionate heart gathered one by one,

creating a momentum of change.

I will remember I am connected

with all those who have held my hand.

Preparation

Face the battle now, not later.

Instead of basking in the comfort of “readying”

Launch into the fray

Gets your hands dirty.

When you come out defeated

you’ll know what to fix

to win the actual fight.

Warmth

Thanks for seeing me as who I was.

Opening up was a bold move for you.

I marveled at your generous trust.

Buried in the memories, it still remains warm.

I know now I want to have lived having loved more.

To dance more, laugh more, and think more have been on my horizon.

To know I have lived a little then

croons my heart like the tomato red sun.

Marvel

January 29, 2026 RalphLeave a comment

After the morning ritual,

and a good run of chores,

I stepped out to outside

to marvel at the nature.

I grabbed the tentacle like icicles,

scooped up a slice of cut wood,

and looked at the horizon over the top of the hill.

All was silent, and satisfactory.

I took one step at a time

careful of the slippery ice

and arrived safely to the warm room of my home.
