come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
even in an apocalypse, there is love
unselfish love that keep us warm
even during a rat race on a collapsing road
love that allows us to become a juggernaut
impenetrable passion to protect the beloved
it’s a soft gentle touch to the heart
even as all things around us fall apart
that remembers what life is worth
and let us fight the good fight

I’ve been blinded by tears and sweat and dusts
after running as fast as I could, faster than anyone
Now numbed with soreness and calluses
I cannot tell whether the soft silky grains
soaking around my ankle are sands of beach
or dusts and ashes of skulls and bones
I cannot tell whether this water quenching my thirst
is fresh spring fountain or blood
I cannot tell if this steps of mountain
are polished stairs or traps laid for blind
I wipe my eyes
but they burn instead, blinding me further
I wait for my judgement
in the dark, deathly quiet silence.

allow me to rise to the challenges I must face
allow me to protect those that I cherish
allow me the wisdom to discern principles
allow me the intellect to discover solutions
allow me the strength to build a change
allow me to love in every moment

it’s good to see you again
may your heart cherish the chances laid ahead
may you find peace in the chaotic storm
may you relish the accomplishments earned hard
I welcome you wherever you stand
whenever you find me
whatever you are dealing with
brother, it is good to see you again.

we can’t ignore we live in a selfish world
it is rather virtuous to be self-interested
not because of bitter reasons
but because when you walk the walk
the path so tortuous and lonesome,
in the end of long tunnel, there might be light
perchance collision of shooting stars
the explosive beginning of all
and I am grateful for you
to have walked the walk
and to collide with me
here and now

the only source of strength to endure dark nights
was a stream of light I had glimpsed
through the dark stormy clouds
when you showed grace through sacrifice
and placed a piece of faith in me.
I fought the fights, endured blistering scars,
and walked miles upon miles of roads
because of this gem of blessing.
allow me to bestow this also upon you
to protect you throughout your journey.
may you find peace in hardships
may you find joy in all you do.

love you five warms my heart
I now my head out of meekness
for I feel the mountains under my feet
and ocean within my reach
just by your simple gesture of gratitude
I know it is one out of galaxy we collide
so I humbly wish our paths will conjoin again one day

small things matter
tying shoe laces correctly
writing letters legibly
taking a moment to stare into a mirror
matters before you realize it matters
so please don’t forget to look ahead
and tend to the small things when you can
otherwise,
it might rain on payday

perhaps you call this a perfect timing
the sun rose through the clouds
gracefully laying sunshine on greeneries
cool wind shuffled by
small fjor of water slowly flowed
blue bell flowers bowed like nuns in covenant
peonies gleamed like happy hippos
blue sky smiled gracefully
I wondered if I was dreaming
everything looked perfect as they were

did you realize silence is a luxury?
clouded by loneliness, it might be hard to see
but, ah well, just experience it. You’ll see.
you’ll see the beauty in serene atmosphere
you’ll find peace of mind
uninterrupted by intruders
for who are to stop the intruders from making noise?
what and how would you stop those from making noise?
once you’ve realized the cost
you come to appreciate the prize
but one must wonder:
what was the true cost here?
we must live together as human beings
but we also crave to have our own haven.
