Brighter

without my coffee,
each hour felt like a year.
I let my mind drift.
As my mind slowly crawled,
I noticed crumbs of memories.
Ones I made mistakes,
ones I felt happier,
ones I hope not to remember.
They all shined brightly,
and my heart was warm.
I let them float into sky,
and wished upon them
to let me live to my fullest.
Then I got back to my deadlines.

Wrong

RalphLeave a comment

regardless of my intention,

in every direction I went,

I was told I was wrong.

That I am the bad guy.

But in quiet silence,

when I peer into myself,

I realized it’s the accumulation

of my neglect, laziness, and carelessness.

So I sat down.

I started to write, draw, and read.

There’s no need to run or fight.

Just fly into your imagination.

Okay

Don’t you worry.

All things may be falling apart,

All people may be pointing their fingers at you,

It will be alright.

Your eyes have been blessed with sunshine

on a quiet Pacific Ocean beach,

at the break of the dawn in the middle of a desert,

by the sunset in the middle of a vast pasture.

You are not alone.

I am here

with you.

it’s quiet, but not heavy.
a clear light blue sky,
and bright airy sun ray
leans into my navy shadow room.

I part my lips to say:
“I know you are here
even if I cannot see you now.

Thank you for all you did for me.
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for staying with me.”

and I closed my eyes.

Goal

are we remnants of our thoughts,
memories, and traces of foods?
what do we hold on to
when the world shakes us?
what keeps our heart warm
when everyone has left
our snow white party at night?

I suspect this:
we create new meaning each minute.
we breath and reach out our hands
into the future unknown
then we will arrive
at our destination soon.
