come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Don’t let the memory slip from your grip
What makes all this real.
Remember your humble rock bottom.
Remember the glory in the dawn of the world.
Remember their generous, peaceful smile.
Keep your head down.
Eyes on the target.
One foot at a time.
Until we reach the light.
Should you fall, alight your shirt.
Let it shine the way for those to come.

When I saw the light in your eye go out
as you stared at me in silence, listening,
not rejecting, but not pulling, like a wood log on an ocean,
it pierced my heart as deep as the ocean dark,
so now I knew, I must walk in the dark.

in the wake of the white misty day in the woods,
there’s an eternally soft and chilling fog,
clouding your vision no further than a foot ahead of you.
let go of your fear; let your imagination run amok.
hold your heart steady, like holding a koala’s bottom.
you will come back alright. just keep holding them.
And open your eyes, see this wonder, rejoice!

clutching a grain of sand in my fist,
I held it in my heart.
ocean wave of sorrow swarmed
because I knew I had a far way to go to get there.
I want to give, to bring laughter, and satisfaction,
but it’s ocean distance away, far longer than the reach of my arms.
vengeful against disadvantage, I sense fire brewing in my eyes.
Get me there. I command my bare hands and feet.
Our only destiny is to succeed.

Hey, did you notice
That this person smiled at you today?
Did you know this person cared for you?
Did you know this person considers you a friend?
Did you know they are all cheering for you?
It’s okay to trip over.
Let’s try it again!
We are going to make this right.

it’s the moment to sift
known from the unknown
true from the untrue
capable from incapable.
let it be to your favor
whatever the result may be.

I don’t want to write
just for writing sake.
what fueled inspiration
is not here now.
I want to write the truth,
not an artificial saccharine.
that’s it.

많은 이들이 쳐다보고
소근거리고 손가락질을하고
이상한 그림을 그리고 있어도
나는 이 모든 흠점을 감싸안고
뚜벅뚜벅 걸어가리다.
내 두눈 밝은 앞을 향한채.

I’ve come to appreciate the silence better.
I started to see the larger picture clearly
I started to think more coherently
I started to hear the world’s ticking sound.
to be deeply alone
enveloped in wraps of deafening silence
it’s a rare bliss.

when you dive deep into a dark ink well
be mindful of how it seeps into others
who has not set a foot in the well.
let them taste the good water
while you wash yourself of the darkness.
remember; the sun will rise again.
the sun always rises.
