come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
caffeine induced insomnia for four nights
woke up, realized now is to start to write
what I felt, what I believed in my heart
before the day gets long to see the star
over the head falls the rain
perhaps explains the pain
one that might not be understood
as those who were not heard would
cry, cry all you want
tomorrow, after the storm, it’ll be calm

early morning, air’s freezing
sky over horizon, turns jean blue
birds are chirping, as I’m walking
through dark street, to library at cue
as music’s playing from AirPods into my ears
as I sing the song of dreams that are dear

나는 떳떳하게 말 할 수 있다.
이미 버텨 왔고 앞으로도 버틸것이고
나는 내가 옳다고 믿는 것을 지킬것이라고.
부족한 나지만 손가락 하나 움직일 수 있는 한
나는 앞으로 나아갈 거라고.
I can say without a hint of guilt:
I’ve withstood all, and will continue to do so
I’ll defend what I believe to be principles
against all odds, I’ll continue on as long as I can move,
I’ll continue to walk the walk.

i turned around
and looked down
it was too soft to the touch
beneath my feet I felt a mush
Lo and behold
remnants of vibrant gold
undeniably sticky to the shoe
I wondered what to do with the poo
the truth be told
it is still underneath the sole
3.27.2022
I enjoy the quietness
across from my mattress
sitting on wooden floor
watching as warm
bright sunlight flows
through the windows
where flowers bloom
into my shadowed room.
It is spring.
I wonder what it’ll bring.

yes, I am quite certain now
the time has accelerated somehow
smiles of warmth washed to six
wild parade of blurry matches to three
only time stamp on an old dee-ess-el-ar
revealed a trick dorment between ears
perhaps a sign to run forward faster
perhaps a sign to cherish things slower
I wave a good-bye to sunset
now I understand how it was meant to be spent

you can control some,
but you must let go of some.
no matter how hard your heart is bawling
you need to turn your back from this endearing.
rejoice in solitude
be grateful for smallest constitutes
leave in peace with mind and soul
quiet in courage for challenges and goals
3.24.2022
thanks for allowing me to stay alive
so far, it’s been a good life
I am curious to know where this will flow
I am excited for the unknown
deadlines come and go
we rise and fall
but I’m glad I am on this road
for I now know I have lived it all
3.23.2022
chirping of the blue bird
a solemn song for those forgotten;
for the unsung heroes who heard
the call long forsaken
it reverberates as break of dawn
commemorates who’ve fallen
3.22.2022
brush of a fresh air with morning breeze
glistening sunrise in a crystal drop of dew
calmly, cautiously stretching branches of trees
whimpering of dogs on grass buds with poo
crisply ironed white-blue blanketing the sky
within it, the march of a Spring is nigh
