come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
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.

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.

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.

if it is inevitable that we must change,
I do hope that we change towards
peace, enlightenment, and revelations.
what age will reveal,
we may perhaps know
when we turn around and look back
but for now, let us keep our head down
and hope for a better one.

a harmonic chorus is harder to achieve than it appears.
understanding when to pause,
how long to drag a note, or where
may be different among choir members
you could say they all have a unique personality
than to frown upon their cacophony
a harmonic chorus is harder to achieve than it appears.

words seem to fail me, brother.
I might have said something too harsh unwittingly.
But all I want to say is I do care about you.
family look after each other, you know.
I do hope you will thrive,
rise through obstacles and strive in this world.
brother, it is alright to take a rest once in awhile.
try a bit of faith in me when I say:
‘I’ve got your back’

I hope you manage to keep having fun.
Have that free spirit of wanderlust
those rebellious eyes, searching for trouble,
and unrelenting drive to get up again
and go for another round of fight.
But those moments of seriousness:
the sorrow, the anger, the fear;
I hope you can let them go once in a while.
I appreciate you. Not just for what you do,
but for being you.
I hope you keep having fun in this world.
It’d be good to see you again, my friend.

perhaps, as all living things must do, we must evolve.
transcend above all our inclinations,
all our predictable fallacies,
and all our habits,
and sublimate everything we have to the next level
to a level unknown before
to a level at which a hindsight of present day
would make it look so foolish.
perhaps, as all living things must do, we must evolve.

small awkward pause before glancing away.
a feigned cough, and clearing of throat.
a little shift to the side of the seat.
in a library, in a zoom meeting. in a gym,
there’s a paper cut for every encounter.
is it the smell? is it the look? is it the wording?
a thought chews on another thought.
I wondered what makes a good sound,
but then I realized it didn’t matter at all
if you lose your ground.
