come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
small things matter
tying shoe laces correctly
writing letters legibly
taking a moment to stare into a mirror
matters before you realize it matters
so please don’t forget to look ahead
and tend to the small things when you can
otherwise,
it might rain on payday

perhaps you call this a perfect timing
the sun rose through the clouds
gracefully laying sunshine on greeneries
cool wind shuffled by
small fjor of water slowly flowed
blue bell flowers bowed like nuns in covenant
peonies gleamed like happy hippos
blue sky smiled gracefully
I wondered if I was dreaming
everything looked perfect as they were

did you realize silence is a luxury?
clouded by loneliness, it might be hard to see
but, ah well, just experience it. You’ll see.
you’ll see the beauty in serene atmosphere
you’ll find peace of mind
uninterrupted by intruders
for who are to stop the intruders from making noise?
what and how would you stop those from making noise?
once you’ve realized the cost
you come to appreciate the prize
but one must wonder:
what was the true cost here?
we must live together as human beings
but we also crave to have our own haven.

we can’t avoid the law of physics.
we all go hungry in six hours
we all want to lie down to sleep
we all need to stay cool or warm
gravity still reminds us each day
we are bound to the earth.
don’t look away nor get angry
but find a soft patience
listen to the silence
may be you’ll see
the serendipity beyond our dimension
that might change all of it
5.10.2022
let’s promise this
even if we drift apart
let’s love.
love all things in the world.
the blue, grey, purple, orange, red sky
the ever-fleeting golden wings of luck
the unquenchable thirst to connect
let us love them all.
yes, it could get boring
yea, it could be painful
but let’s promise this:
let’s love.

gap between image in mind and image in reality
is one that is fascinatingly flexible one
images formulated in mind shapes reality
and reality imprints the mind in a pattern
to wield the imagination and form it
wouldn’t you say it contains potential?

dream keeps us alive and young, I believe.
achievements we thought were impossible
experiences we thought were nonexistent
can be accomplished with a faith in dreams
dreamers may trip and fall
but when they reach the other side of horizon
all of it would be worth it.

once in awhile, I let myself walk in the rain
letting raindrops hit against my body
it’s liberating, somehow
like a tower of sand I built as a child
shells of some kind around body starts melting
as the raindrop seeps into my heart
I wonder what it is about the rain
that brings this gravitas

it would almost always at dusk
on the beach, as the air gets colder
I’d finish building the castle
with wet muddy sand of the beach
yes, I wasn’t naive to believe
it would be there the next week I come
but the soft, malleable, and wet sand
is what I remember
and the smile that warmed my face

can we slow down a little
be gentle for a moment
instead of walking to hit each other
talking as if to run away from another
staring as if to judge the other
can we see each other just as we are
stop hiding, running, and insulting
can we just, for a moment,
acknowledge each other?
