without the fear of losing,
without the doubts of our abilities
let us walk forward into the future promises
without enslavement to greed
we will bec okay.
believe in the inobservable.
it will rise to the occasion.

Kindness
warmth was shared
when it was expected the least
surprisingly, there’s softness
where only harsh words existed
what is it, that these people find
to bring forth such kindness?
it is a curious phenomenon
I hope to replicate

Humor
I laughed, because it was so sad;
I don’t know how else to deal with it.
bone-crashing depression is an oxymoron
but it hurts real bad, so you laugh to lift it up
it’s truly funny sometimes, how the life goes.
I am just grateful I can laugh with people I love.
I am humbled by their openness to accept my jokes.
that’s where I find the courage
to look forward to the future unknown.

Past
sometimes I want to grab my past
and shout: “take me back”
I want to breath the fresh crisp air,
bask under the glistening gold sunlight
I see in my dreams in my dark night
I want to feel the levity of life
as if every day was a surprise playtime
if I see my past self in the mirror
sometimes I want to grab my past
and shout: “take me back”
but it’s the darkness that stares back at me
and I, staring back at the darkness.

Dream
stay focused on the now
too many words fluttering in your head
yes, it’s nice to gaze at old memories
yes, there were good warm memories
but now is the time to exist
to pay the full attention
exist here today
before the time slips away
and becomes filled with regrets.

Deceptions
little did I know
subtle misinformation
goes a long way.
a good faith in companion
did not last long.
unfortunate, I felt,
inevitable, I knew.
what can we do?
let what may go, go.
let what may come, come.
I will look at the part of horizon
where I am headed to.
where I lay my steps on
will merely be transient.
so let us not stop singing.
let us continue dreaming.
let us continue loving.

Butterfly
an inception of an idea starts
and the world transforms
or is it I that is transforming?
from the moment I open my eyes
to the moment I close them
the world proceeds like a program
as I have coded them last night.
World of a dream,
or a dream of the world?
I wonder.

Good
I pray I don’t sway
by praise nor blame
that I stay away
from temptatious ways
that I’ll stay true
regardless of whether others will see through
I pray that there will be light
that there will be laughter and smile
diligent work built on trust
humble honesty weaving a society just
hopeful in dreams of eventual reunion
teeming with faithful heart for a communion.

Hot potato
live with a full heart
churning fiery energy
to look afar
but listen to your body
trust your heart
take a leap of faith
if all fails, do restart
it will be worth the wait
live with a full heart
you won’t regret it
it is living form of an art
life’s fun is in it

Growing
you don’t want to be in a bubble
but you also don’t want to be in an eye of a hurricane
all criticisms, admonishment, and yelling
I know they come from a good place
and I don’t have any grudges against you
but I wonder
if I started to like myself a little less
when I am yelled at for what I have done
when I am given a silent treatment for failing
I fought my way through,
and I am not sure what I was fighting against
was it the world
or was it myself?
still, I don’t want to be in a bubble
safely protected from all harms way
I want to grow
a story of truth, humanity, and adventure.
