come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
when my heart no longer seeks distractions,
the eloquent silence arrives
like the dusk;
not freezing cold nor comfortably warm;
not too dark, but not too shiny.
as consciousness submerges into this realm
a silent resonance emanates from within.
listen to it, and walk.
do not fear,
for all is here,
and here it remains.

It is not my fault
that the ground I walked on
was already filled with trash.
yet I had turned my mind’s eye away
from the memory of having the walk
and lived on as nothing had happened.
I reached out my hand today
to the memory long neglected.
I accept who I was,
what I have seen, in spite of
what I had hope for
as I accept who I am now.

there are inevitables – age, wealth, and so on.
let us leverage what we are given
and shine the brightest in our own way
and brush the dream of our own
onto the dark cold night as our canvass
let us find our persona – a key to the world –
and wrestle until the sun rises.

alternatives may not exist
but it might give an insight
to your imagination.
open your heart
to what you feel to be true
it will resonate with you.
what I wish for
and what I imagine
may they adhere
to my principle.
may every waking moment
be dedicated to such
and rise again
should I fall.

give it all you’ve got each moment
live each moment with wide eyes
breath in the air in clear mind.
once you let your attention go,
time will start to fly like a kite,
and when you open your eyes,
you, and the world, has already changed.
live the moment.
remember the moment.

was it worth it?
we explore the world
looking for people
I sometimes wonder
if it was worthwhile in the end.
do you keep walking into the forest
hoping the forks of the roads
meet each other in the end
or do you venture out
and seek the people?
I wonder
I wonder

it’s okay to be not okay.
your heart is swelling with tears,
and recognize it is there.
remember the loving moments
where you basked in happiness.
remember all the grace you received.
it’s okay.
it’ll be alright.

한동안 울었다.
너란 사람을 떠나야 해서
너무나도 억울해서
화를 내고 싶지도 않아서
울었다.
그리곤 깨달았다.
나는 어찌되었든
내 인생을 살아야 한다는 것을.

it can spread like a drop of black ink
in a cup of clear water.
it spreads without control,
and it won’t stop.
so cut off parts of the water.
give thanks to it.
it is better to live without it
than to live with such infection.
do not regret,
do not be bitter.
rise again,
and fight the fight you must endure.
