come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I am frustrated to have found myself in a confusion again.
I knew where I was headed.
I knew I did my best then.
but given the place I’ve found myself embedded,
I wonder if I had digressed too much.
I wonder if it is the same North Star that guides me up there.
but what use is it to foresee the future and such
when the fire is raging here everywhere.
I keep my head low
and listen for a wisdom hidden in river flow.

A sung sang in my heart
Unheard by many, perhaps to even myself
Breathing, one realize one’s lung is dancing
Air flows, passively, but powerfully
Seeping into each inches of the body, it’s consumed, taking control of them
Flowing from one piece to the other
But then again, how does one place differ from the other? Time? Space?
Ah well applaud for the smallest, for the minute tick appropriates the universe
Dancing around it seems, even when all seemed to have stopped.

Make it your friend, your tombstone
After all, it’s your last bed mattress
Laying your head for one last time
In the end, one must finally rest.
So now: strive. Invigorating heart
Widening eyelids, breath in scents
Of life, confess your love in human
Beings, swim upstream to flow of
Time.
Make your death
your friend.
Do not be afraid.
