Thank you

we can’t ignore we live in a selfish world
it is rather virtuous to be self-interested
not because of bitter reasons
but because when you walk the walk
the path so tortuous and lonesome,
in the end of long tunnel, there might be light
perchance collision of shooting stars
the explosive beginning of all
and I am grateful for you
to have walked the walk
and to collide with me
here and now

Gratitude

the only source of strength to endure dark nights
was a stream of light I had glimpsed
through the dark stormy clouds
when you showed grace through sacrifice
and placed a piece of faith in me.
I fought the fights, endured blistering scars,
and walked miles upon miles of roads
because of this gem of blessing.
allow me to bestow this also upon you
to protect you throughout your journey.
may you find peace in hardships
may you find joy in all you do.

Garden

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

Silence

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.

Iron

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
