Remember

Have you noticed the creases at the back of your fingers have increased since the springtime when the blossom of the cherries cascaded like the white dancing will-o’-wisps?

That grocery list you swore you’d remember that summer afternoon as you put your feet into your sneakers to slip into the orange sunset, do you still remember?

Have the bubble that sizzled like fireworks of the July Fourth alongside the river ever got forgotten under thousands of layers of sediments of numbed memories over time?

Have they?

Do

You

Remember?

Shield

Because the shields are born out of fire,

They thrive on pressure.

Battlefield is where they are called to.

When bullets explore towards you,

When the silvery teeth blink from sheath,

Shields are called upon, to tank it all, and then push back.

Guarding its realm of space, they thrive.

When you see a fire, run towards it.

For the shields are with you as always.

Running On A Rope

Deep contemplation and years of encounters,

Thousands of practices may have prepared for this sprint

A challenge visited like a whimsical hail storm, a quick sand in a vast desert,

Your question prompts series of serious decisions to be made.

Do I know enough?

Do I risk my time?

Uncertain slope of the rope is to be ignored with a sprint.

Only fingers that are crossed may do something about this business.

Spiral

Be kind to yourself.

Because when others visit your soul, they will be nourished in your joy and happiness.

Be courageous with yourself.

Because in the cold moments, the fire of justice will guide those who have been lost.

Be ready with yourself.

Because the moment of testament will strike like a lightening to electrify everything.
