come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I can’t recall when it all started
to enjoy biting another
and to be bitten.
All I did was to walk the walk
that was dark when it was dark
and walk the bright one when it was bright
yet there’s that lingering feeling
as if my hands are not clean before this meal.
언제부터인지는 기억이 나지 않는다.
서로를 물어 뜯고
물어 뜯기는걸 즐기게 되었는지는.
어두울 때는 어두운 길을 걷고
밝을 때는 밝은 길을 걸었을 뿐인데
걷고 난 후엔 무엇인가 바뀐 느낌이
식사전 손씻지 않은 찝찝함처럼 있다.

I stared at the sky
and wondered why
we all are fighting over another
when we can enjoy this calm together
I ran whenever I felt I wanted to
but I see others’ glares in whatever I do
regardless, I keep facing to the rhythm
singing along with what I believe in

dreams don’t have to stay as dreams
wiggle your toes
focus on your breath
there are ways to make things happen.
one by one
we will make our dreams come true.

let’s keep moving
even if it looks as if
we are staying on the same spot
let’s keep moving.
if we do our best
results will show.
so let’s keep moving.

there’s a room
full of monitor screens.
some show a landscape,
some show a story.
outside the room
a desert dune spreads out
all the way to the horizon
as the sun beams from above.
do you choose to stay in the room?
do you choose to walk over the horizon?
water is drying out
it’s time to make a plan
and a resolution to be made.

“have I done my best today?”
I asked myself
as I stared at a blinking cursor
on my computer monitor.
“no, not yet”
I thought to myself
as I typed a few more keys
on my keyboard, relentlessly.
“where is the summit?”
I wondered to myself
and I implored the world in my heart
found the people I’ve met,
stories we shared,
and saw them pointing towards the bright light
next to the blinking cursor
on my computer monitor.

I learned today
that my shadow was actually another person.
he had another thoughts, another feelings,
another memories, and another hopes.
we’ve seen the same things, met same people
but we differ in how we see the world.
now is the time for dialogues
I wonder if he will forgive me.

walking across a park,
I noticed a deer just standing.
I stared at her, and she stared back.
The deer walked towards me
slowly, smoothly, and silently.
I stood still,
even though I could reach her.
The deer peered into my eyes.
We stood there for a moment,
before she turned,
and started to walk away.
I turned,
wondering what could have been,
had I reached out to her.

sometimes
I do fall for an all-nighter fun
how do I learn
not to do this again?
I wonder
how I can grow up.

it’s intangible
but I think
what goes
comes around.
give for others,
and rest will follow.
do not worry,
as long as
you walk the right way
the rest will follow.
look forward,
not backward
or sideways.
we will meet
at the end.
