The waves a-crashing
The island so close
Keep on swimming
One day it will be yours.
May the body that carries
Carry also the spirit and heart
For who knows how long the journey is
Except how you and I will go.

Sun
Ah — and the sun is going down.
The sun is going down!
The sun is going down!
Do not succumb to the seeping of shadows.
Rise! Illuminate with all your might!
Step your next foot with ablazing flame
and do not yield to the sweet whisper of sleep!
Do not feel sorry for yourself.
That’s what assholes do.
Rise!

Music
The smoke has been rising
I thought it was just a passing smoke
I don’t know — a cigarette smoke?
Yes, but then it fumed stronger, blacker
Rising above the surface
It poked its head out
And that was when I knew
There was a seed of amber I had discarded
And it spread, grew, molding itself into
A forceful blow.
I am tired.
I sometimes crave this cigarette I quit long ago
Just to sit back, stare at this mountainous force roaring at me
And relax for the first time in a long time
To face the music that I had been meant to face.

Protect
Before saving others,
protect yourself.
Understand how others think,
not just what they say they think.
Observe yourself: did you invest yourself
too much or too little?
And remember: what do you really want?
If you choose virtue, why does it matter?
What really matters to you?
If you say it’s the love for humanity,
you know who to talk to.

Why
I don’t know the answer to the question, to be honest.
I am also still figuring it out.
But I think not knowing the answer
does not mean that there is no answer.
Searching for it may be painful.
I know staying with others will alleviate the pain.
I’ve heard some people have found it along the way.
I hope you will find it one day.
You will be in my thoughts.

Progressing
Remember her smile –
imbued in melancholic shadow
smoothed by late summer mellow
– wouldn’t you know what’s worthwhile?
March goes on, and it must go forward.
Rinse and repeat, change and progress
But deep in your heart, keep a locket
and only your memory will keep the secret.
To put it simply:
Something about her mattered to you.
Everything else is going fine, but your heart is yearning for passion.
Maybe that passion can stem from your core memory
a force to push you forward
and become your stamina against the challenges.

Tunnel
When you find yourself in a vacuum,
gravity pulling you down to the earth by your ankle,
and darkness enveloping your vision,
pause for a moment.
Notice the dancing light of fireflies
on a late sleepy summer night.
One after another, you will recall
a spark of smile on their lips.
Within you remains the warmth of your embrace.
Slowly, and gradually,
let your sphere of light expand.

Give
Give yourself love.
If you need rest,
If you need the work,
If you need time,
Give it to yourself.
Believe you can get to where you want to get to.
Warmth, even in little amounts,
Can bring you much appreciation.
If you have fallen,
If you have sunken,
Rise again. Again and again.
You can get there.
Believe in yourself.

Rise
Rise again. Whatever has happened has happened.
There’s no use in blaming yourself.
This, too, will pass.
But you will be there.
Be honest, keep learning, and keep growing.
If you keep explore, you will get there.
Believe in yourself.
I will be with you at every step of the way.

Ego
Shrouded in mystic vibes,
I mistook aestheticism with intelligence.
Only after stumbling into a pitch of ignorance
Did I remember what it took to learn.
It’s the humbleness, the willingness to let go of superior esteem.
It’s the practicality, to be willing to pick up the axe in a suit.
It’s the responsibility, to be able to respond to the needs.
Hopefully, the steaming emotions will dissipate.
Let the joy arrive in its place instead.
