come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
It’s my first time living my life
I don’t know what tomorrow brings
so if I am rude at times
please understand I also have shortcomings
I try and see the world as good
sharing as best as I might
hoping for better future as anyone would
daring to live life with a fight
so bear with me when I am a grump
I will sleep on it and become a better chum

let the world ravage with jealousy
while I am busy loving you
let the world rummage with fear
while I am busy making something new
let the world chase after the inflammatory
while I am busy dancing in rain with you
ah one, two, three and four!

whether you sit still or run,
you’ll feel pain just the same
when things are said and done
isn’t it much fun to play the game?
even if you believe all of this is meaningless
let us believe for this moment
our moment now is priceless
let us rise and live in the present
if you can’t avoid it,
might as well have fun with it.

I am shaking my legs out of a bad habit
words are running through my mind nonstop
jaws are clenched, neck is stiff, eyes are strained
my breath is forced, ruggedly inhaling, exhaling
then it pops into my head like a red stop
‘what are you doing now?
enough of your excuses.
now is the time to wake up
try fooling others, you might
but don’t try to fool yourself.
be honest.
be brutally honest.
now is the time to live,
to lead your own life.
don’t look away.’
it is still dark outside
the night is long
but eventually
the sun will rise.
the sun will rise,
the sun will rise.

an inception of an idea starts
and the world transforms
or is it I that is transforming?
from the moment I open my eyes
to the moment I close them
the world proceeds like a program
as I have coded them last night.
World of a dream,
or a dream of the world?
I wonder.

for those who have exhausted everything
under the broad day light,
is there a word for them?
a word to describe
what they have seen,
what they have felt,
and what they have chosen to do?
to live each day,
with both eyes wide open,
bearing thousands of battle scars,
to remember all that have happened
it may be too much of a toll to be burdened with.
nevertheless, we stay awake,
to seek the truth,
to be responsible for our entity,
and to adhere to our belief and principles.
let both levity and gravity be in unity.
for this longest brevity.

it is like a magic
when you can suddenly remember
every minute detail of past sceneries
when you can live in the present
and vividly recall what had happened in past
truly grateful for this happenchance
wonder what will be remained of this day
in the far further.

it was as if the sky had cleared
by a water fall of shooting stars
across the stratosphere
a hot, thundering roar passed by.
what’s left is reverberating, spacious, and cool.
like an ironclad hammered
in smouldering ember,
cooled in deep blue ocean,
my head was clear like deep space,
full of wonders, possibilities, and unknowns
my heart willingly churning
for more adventures.
suddenly, all my fears became jokes
for hearty laughters.
what gives?
will this last?
I am just grateful to have a glimpse
through this window of clarity.
let’s see what we have for tomorrow.

I hope you can hear this music in the air.
no effort needed, just a relaxed heart.
we will have our fair share of battles, oh yes.
before the storm comes, live a little.
go fetch your childhood dream,
soft spots you’ve been guarding,
soak deep into emtions: sadness, happiness.
then when the storm arrives,
all of your fears will have passed
all that remains of you shall be free at last.

in the thick of thin things,
it’s easy to lose the sight of purpose.
because we need to run fast,
precious memories slip through your fingers.
if we slow down too much,
the world marches ahead.
to stay vigilant with clear eyes and full heart,
that is what I hope to fulfill.
