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.

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.

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

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.

Imagine

Imagine love.

What does it feel like to you?

Perhaps, like a passionate poem,

a resilient and solemn dedication,

or an enigmatic and mystic riddle?

May you hold on to one that suits you.

May you remember what it meant in the past

And may you continue to grow with those

Who share with you the feeling.
