come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
given infinite possibilities of decisions
in each lightening fast moments
predicting future based on present moment
opens a door to versatile visions
in the vast ocean of information
I am swimming fast and faster
exhausted, I lay my back on the water
and stare at the stars in the dark sky
and realized the answer was there all along.

how is it possible this small old lady
lands a mighty blow with her slightest effort?
decades of battle experience is not for naught
a flick of her wrist, a flash of light,
and the weight of a monument crushes down
I thought I would show her and everyone
how much I had grown over the past month
yet in a blink of an eye, I am humbled.
those with decades of experience need not a word
their gestures emanate with proofs.

after weeks of trudging my own path
I lifted up my gaze and looked about
hoping to see a wider world
but what I found was the world within
world codified in words, thoughts, and actions
I learned the world dissolves
dissipating the angst of existence
and sets you free.
