chasing after shiny things
have I lost touch with what kept me real?
so much to be grateful for this
life, the path, the experience I could feel
each second passing, nervously fast.
in the at I am to answer at last.

Team
I want a team
but what is the goal of the team?
what is the dream?
to be alive when others don’t?
to see the things beyond what is now?
to build something no one has seen?
what is that?
a simulation? a strategy? a policy?
we dream, beyond what we see.
we believe, beyond what we see.

Rain
rain fell and tapped the earth
like a gentle curtain on a wind.
world starts to look its part
as if my vision has restored.
I marveled at the split moment
of a rain drop, smashing onto surface
of a pond in a public park
making, albeit momentarily,
an impact.
both to the world, and to my mind.

Sun
when the window opened wide
and the eternally dark room
suddenly exploded in white light,
my eyes were briefly consumed
tears welled up, and fell off my eyes.
I sat, blinked a few times,
I stood up, stared at the sun
The day has already begun.

Dream
yes, let us dream.
beyond the world we see immediately
poke a keyhole into our dream
and let us search for the right key
to reach our dream
we may get lost.
if you do, remember to love.

이유
내가 왜 이 일을 하는지
이유가 필요하다.
언젠간 알고 있던 그것이
’잠깐만 더 있다가‘하는 사이에
벌써 멀어져 버렸다.
지금 나는 왜 이 일을 하는가
옛날에 나는 무엇에 열정을 가졌는가
불이 꺼진 큰 짐덩어리를 미는건
더이상 할 짓이 안된다.

그림
언뜻 보이려 한다.
어릴적 손끝으로 그리던 그림이.
슬픔도, 즐거움도, 아픔도, 화남도,
모두 그 그림의 일부이었다.
수많은 모험 속에서,
조금씩 색깔을 맞춰가는 이 그림.
완성된 그림보다
그려가는 과정에 의미가 더 있는 그림.
그런 그림이다.

Get
if you want it,
stretch out your arm,
grasp it with your fingers.
don’t wait others to do it for you.

Black cat
a black cat appeared.
its amorphous darkness
morphed into a sinkhole.
I grasped at it without avail.
So I stared at it
as it stared back.
It bowed,
dissipating into warm night air.

Friend
it’s quiet, but not heavy.
a clear light blue sky,
and bright airy sun ray
leans into my navy shadow room.
I part my lips to say:
“I know you are here
even if I cannot see you now.
Thank you for all you did for me.
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for staying with me.”
and I closed my eyes.
