come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
how long does it take for you to breath in
how long does it take to recognize a face
how long does it take to take a step forward?
notice it.
then you can start your imagination
how far can you walk a day, a month, a year?
how many dots can you connect for a solution?
how many days, years to get to where you want to be?
if the calculation is done
and you have enough faith in it
take a deep breath.
then, move.
believe.

time is now:
when things are calm and peaceful
now is to run as fast and quiet as you can
for future may hold new surprises
be steadfast at getting ready
to sprint with explosion
imploring multidimensional possibilities
surging through currents of light
be ready
it’s time to strike the lightening

live with a full heart
churning fiery energy
to look afar
but listen to your body
trust your heart
take a leap of faith
if all fails, do restart
it will be worth the wait
live with a full heart
you won’t regret it
it is living form of an art
life’s fun is in it

you don’t want to be in a bubble
but you also don’t want to be in an eye of a hurricane
all criticisms, admonishment, and yelling
I know they come from a good place
and I don’t have any grudges against you
but I wonder
if I started to like myself a little less
when I am yelled at for what I have done
when I am given a silent treatment for failing
I fought my way through,
and I am not sure what I was fighting against
was it the world
or was it myself?
still, I don’t want to be in a bubble
safely protected from all harms way
I want to grow
a story of truth, humanity, and adventure.

I did live today to my full potential
thanks to that, I remembered our days
days where we walked slowly together
talking about our dreams
and occasional dance we did together
in a warm haven of ours
oblivious to the world outside
smooth, soft, and slow
and when our eyes were open
crystal clear sun rays would tickle
world slowly awaken and reborn
오늘 하루 열심히 살았어요
덕분에 그대와의 좋은 기억이 났어요
세상이 어떻게 돌아가던
우리만의 아늑함 속에
느리게 추던 춤이 생각나요

staring at my thoughts so clearly for so long
distraction start smelling sweeter
whiff of a movie, flash of comic strips
worlds fly by and a vacuum settles in mind
staring at these dogs closing by
I wonder if there is a way to stay clear of them
then I stood by the top of the hill
as the sunset and sky cleared
for a moment there was an awe
and in gratitude I found my heart lightened.

after weeks of trudging my own path
I lifted up my gaze and looked about
hoping to see a wider world
but what I found was the world within
world codified in words, thoughts, and actions
I learned the world dissolves
dissipating the angst of existence
and sets you free.

there was a saying
there is magic in Autumn air
I thought they were lying
now I feel something in there
watching fleeting youth’s flare
withering into exhausted tear
I questioned if this is a glory,
a beautiful mark of life;
if this is end of the story
or sweet opening who survive
씁쓸한 가을을 보낼 것인가
아님 아름다운 종말 속에서
새로운 탄생을 노래할 것인가

allow me to rise
to protect those in waiting
allow me to rise
riding the wave of this time
let me express what I’ve got
allow me to rise
one more day
to see this beautiful fresh sun
breath in freshly made new air
and see this wonderful world
one more day
allow me to rise
보게 하소서
이 아름다운 세상을
하루 더 볼 수 있도록
사랑하는 이들을
지켜줄 수 있도록
제게 힘을 주소서

walking between dream and what reality is
became a coin flip at a whim
a clever mice with a veil over rhino’s eyes
leads it astray an honest one’s mind
but rise again
regardless of shame, regret and pain
rise again and march
march towards a better day
keep your chin up with a humble heart
we’ll see what comes at the end of the day
아무리 집중하기 힘들더라도
주저 앉지 않길 바라
다시 일어나서
더 나은 미래 향해 나아가자.
