when in doubt,
take a nap
with a good chance
nightmares will dissipate
clarity will find your way
and threads of your history
will fair better to be traced

Sail
is it time for change
or should I hold onto the wave
roaring from youthful past
crashing into the beach so vast
destination remains the same
regardless of speed or strength
we sail to brighter horizon
over one wave over another
we shall reach the promised land

Reflection
when we believe,
when we mutter to ourselves
even when it is difficult to believe
“yes, we can”
and move to put into action
we will see the results
presenting themselves
in front of our eyes
let us march on
against this storm of blizzard

Voice
in this night of trial,
one luxury I’d wish:
your voice.
your eyes.
your warmth.

Fake
enough with your hypocrisy
facade of generosity for humanity
you are no more than a next mortal
with all the flaws and weaknesses;
atrocities you commit,
shameful things you do in a pit
all lie in the shadow under the sun
no matter how you try to hide it
learn your flaws with hugs
and wash ‘em in river of sorrow
wake up in clarity and rise again.
you must rise again
to face the world
and atone for it.

Daydream
free falling, I thought about you
and your petite sweet offer
one too good to be true, one that lingered
in the back burner of my mind with you
speeding towards the earth
I wondered what all would’ve been worth
after all, we live with consequences
of choices we choose regardless
of the regrets, the guilt, the burden
so, we move on with a hope in the horizon

Generation
the tradition we uphold
the values we protect
the principles we abide by
perhaps may perish
in a blink of an eye
but what say you
to dive into the fray
against the odds
and see what may become
of the world we see today?

Walk
when it’s all the talk,
the fuzz, the blahs
thrown about the table
it’s probably the time
to walk out the door,
the formidable door
to the world outside,
and take the walk
a new world opens
new air, new light,
new obstacles, new fight
keeps you on your toes
so get on with your walk
and show ‘em what you’ve got
2.22.2022
Challenge
let us rise again
after the painful fall,
after confusing lull,
and sacrifice from all,
let us rise again
for the day is still bright
for the storm’s brining the fight
let us rise to the challenge
and give all to manage
this trial,
this survival.
2.21.2022
Resolve
I won’t know the future now,
but I hope that it will be meaningful
a prudent one, one that will be virtuous
and one that will benefit many others as well
yes, survival and flourishing matters,
but the intangible laws of the world,
the principle that I abide by
and effort that goes into pursuit of actualisation
will be there too.
not just for me, you, us, but also for our future.
