come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
drawing the fine line is important
between running and building
a castle of your own
you don’t move: the ocean wave will catch up
you move too fast: the castle wobbles
hopefully, in this intricate dance
we’ll find our own haven
and sing to the rhythm
and explore our journey.

there are so many things you would want to say
but
you knew you had to keep them in;
stoicism, inferiority complex, principle;
you name it. there’s enough reason to sacrifice
but one day, the words will start to bud
growing into a tree, feeding on imagination
and you may build the world
with the words you’ve kept in.

I did not know I’d be here 5 years ago
I had felt as though I was completely lost
lost in ocean as dark storm raged on
I only had a life vest to hold onto
who would have known it would be seen by others
who would have known I’d be boarded
onto this new world, world so bright
as I take one more step, I pray to pay my gratitude
오직 감사함만이 있을 뿐.

it’s yet another fresh start,
full of unknowns.
a whirlpool of butterflies in the heart,
ghosts of olden memories groans.
true to it all along
the unconscious calling
atoned for deeds gone wrong
now rising to face challenges
I pray this path will be the way
the way of becoming
what is true to all that is laid
the road to the living
새로운 시작을 맞이한다.
초심을 잃지 아니하며
이 길이 먼 훗날
떳떳한 길이 되길 바라며

know what you must exhaust
know what you must save
rumble in your heart
don’t let it go to waste
surprised, you will be
how money can save your neck
don’t underestimate value of saving
it could just be your saving grace.
if you fall (I hope you’ll learn its taste)
rise again (in spite of what all expect)
learn (but don’t compromise)
and do it again (but better this time)
살아 남아.
넘어지더라도
배우고 일어서
다시 시도하는거야.

I am looking for an organic silence;
an active quietness with a purpose
sidestepping from mindless noises
submerging into a zone of focus
it may be a minute difference,
but with a full purpose and focus —
you just wait and see — explosion:
one filled with all kinds of imagination.
고요함 속에
천천한 변화 속에
새로운 세상이
불꽃처럼 등장하길
기도하고 있다.

I need a worthwhile risk to be excited
Something to feel rush of life every second
beyond comfort, above safety,
towards virtue, growing with purpose
I need clarity in my eyes
to see what’s worthwhile
and discipline
to execute exact plans.
인생 재미있게 살기 위해서라도
정신차리고
계획대로 실천할 필요가 있다.

what glory and honor is needed
when a friendly family suffices
all prerequisite for happiness
despite what shiny things symbolize
what is remembered is perhaps simple:
a loving moment shared by loving people
가까운 가족이 장땡이라고

If you don’t have a place to call a home,
write. writing will become your dome
world of your own,
it will be your a companion,
throne, may it not become.
son, you’ll know on day one
you were home all along.
만약, 집이라 부를 곳이 없다면
글을 적어라. 적는 것만이 너의 피난처일지니.
너만의 세계가 될 것이고
너만의 동반자가 될 것이지만
왕좌만이 되지 않길 바란다.
봐라, 언젠간 네가 깨닫는 날이 올 것이니.
너는 이미 집에 있다는 것을.

I want it all:
kick of adrenaline achieving daily goals,
thrill of kissing deadlines goodbyes
and flush of lush joy from music.
아무리 모두가 이해하지 못 한다 해도
나는 내 길을 걸어야 한다고 생각해.
이게 내 숙명이자 숙제인것 같아.
언젠가 한번 꾸었던 꿈을
지금 걷는 이 길에서 다시 볼 수 있길 바라.
