Rumble

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.

Active Quietness

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.

Kindle

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.

Little dome

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.

Multitask

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.

Black crow

the black crow, fear, has arrived again.
hawking large black wings arrive one by one.
like shadow it is silent when it arrives.
even air feels colder. or have I imagined it?

familiar, though, it is.
a lonely path one must take to the world,
I wonder what will be at the end of this tunnel
may it be hope.
may it be hope.

Droplets

if my actions were droplets,
please let it be the ones of many that
shape the curve in the stone
for you to enjoy a respite under the shadow
please let it be the quiet budding of leaves
for you to enjoy the sound of ocean
as you cool off the heat in summer breeze
please let it be one step of the many
to travel this far distance to reach to you
to be there when you need someone
if my actions were droplets,
please let these be so.
