a tiny little worm
ate green leaves
threading a thin string
so soft but so strong
though it may not be glamorous
its work sure is splendid.

Voice
let your voice be out
do not fear.
do not regret.
walk freely and talk loudly.
you matter.

Stance
where papers made of gold
fly about the world
let you stance be grounded
through the rains of iron questions.
believe in what you know
and move with confidence.

Glasses
I took off my classes
as I walked through the city at night
I didn’t realize how bad my eyes were
and much I depended on my glasses.

Azure
like a half dream
I remember
the blue sky
when the wind blew
I felt the chill in shadows
from the top of the tower.
no one was there
but to witness the shadows.
when darkness arrived.
they all sank into it.

Skin 4
beneath the skin
we felt the same
rhythm and colors
glory of the world
yet above the skin
we forget to look
beneath the skin.
it’s okay.

Stay
stay.
remember me.
I know you.
thanks.

Fragile
little did I know
when I smiled,
I got the rain,
not the sun.
when I smell the scent of the spring,
I stayed inside, fearing the storm.
but I missed the radiating sun.
so let it be the case:
I will live my life without fear anymore.
I will care for myself
I will make plans for myself
and I will make a world for myself.
when I have enough,
I will give.

Puzzle
I have glimpsed the eye
and I knew what the rest would be
puzzles started to fragment into each one
unveiling from the fog of ignorance.
I am starting to see what it all means
and how it should proceed.
please let me not forget this moment.
may this last for a bit longer.

Strategy
dark night can give clarity
to see the stars in the dark sky
and choosing where to go
remember that light
keep holding onto it.
