come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
in hard times,
I appreciate the good memories.
in good times,
I appreciate all those who have helped me.
when the world is wrapped in gold,
I appreciate the moment,
when it dissipates into darkness,
I am grateful for the opportunity.
I can only describe what I have felt,
for I am also seeking the truth.

a big wave washed by
its crashing sound afar now faint
golden yolk of a sun arises towards the sky
redeeming its former glory
grateful to have a footing on the earth again
ready for a gleeful rumble and tumble
hoping to smile more again

let us sweat when we can;
build the work that may go unseen
help that may not be reciprocated
though there are many sweets and beauts
I know who I am; and what I am called to:
the reason to raise the body from the ground
the joy in the hustle with fellow companions
and appreciation of small things
such as the whistle of a bird
amongst breezy autumn forest
glorious descent of graceful sun through horizon
I am humbly thankful for these graces.

dear keyboard, thanks for bearing with my incessant keystrokes.
it’s not that I have a bad feeling towards you.
it’s just that I have a deadline that is too close for my health.
Rather, I am grateful for your faithful service.
We’ve actually made a great work together, you know.
I look forward to getting more of those done with you.
I’ll also make sure to clean up the dusts under each of your key.
See you tomorrow.

가끔은
알지 못하던 진실을 알게 되었을 때
살점이 찢어 뜯겨 나가는듯한 고통이 찾아 온다.
정신을 차리고 돌아 봤을 땐
무엇이 중요한지 잊을 때가 있다.
그럴 땐 나는 뛰기 시작 한다.
앞만 보고 모든걸 놓고 뛴다.
헐떡이는 폐와 심장이
비로소 나는 살아 있다는 걸
깨닫게 해준다.
살아있는 이 감사함에
다시 한번 발을 내딛는다.
