come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
staring at my thoughts so clearly for so long
distraction start smelling sweeter
whiff of a movie, flash of comic strips
worlds fly by and a vacuum settles in mind
staring at these dogs closing by
I wonder if there is a way to stay clear of them
then I stood by the top of the hill
as the sunset and sky cleared
for a moment there was an awe
and in gratitude I found my heart lightened.

after weeks of trudging my own path
I lifted up my gaze and looked about
hoping to see a wider world
but what I found was the world within
world codified in words, thoughts, and actions
I learned the world dissolves
dissipating the angst of existence
and sets you free.

there was a saying
there is magic in Autumn air
I thought they were lying
now I feel something in there
watching fleeting youth’s flare
withering into exhausted tear
I questioned if this is a glory,
a beautiful mark of life;
if this is end of the story
or sweet opening who survive
씁쓸한 가을을 보낼 것인가
아님 아름다운 종말 속에서
새로운 탄생을 노래할 것인가

allow me to rise
to protect those in waiting
allow me to rise
riding the wave of this time
let me express what I’ve got
allow me to rise
one more day
to see this beautiful fresh sun
breath in freshly made new air
and see this wonderful world
one more day
allow me to rise
보게 하소서
이 아름다운 세상을
하루 더 볼 수 있도록
사랑하는 이들을
지켜줄 수 있도록
제게 힘을 주소서

a big wave washed by
its crashing sound afar now faint
golden yolk of a sun arises towards the sky
redeeming its former glory
grateful to have a footing on the earth again
ready for a gleeful rumble and tumble
hoping to smile more again

let my scars be a warning sign to you let it be a healing factor for your path
and a guide through this tortuous journey
I’ve bled and wept
but may you save yourself

wishing upon the star,
I yearn for soft touch
from one soul to another
dreaming of adventure
should we get there somehow
it’ll be worthwhile for showdown

I thought your message was clear
like an echo bouncing from mountains
when I shout a call for a meeting;
empty, and no chance of ever seeing again
so it’s an unexpected surprise,
when there is a blazing trail of messages
laid out to read, but these are illegible
please, give me something, something clear
I’ve been shouting all this time
now my voice is harsh and heart is vulnerable
please show the sign to this eyes,
and I’ll make your time worth it.

this isn’t the time to fall asleep
this isn’t a time for a self-pity
it’s time to see the world as it is
and act on what you can change
prepare for what may be hard to change
it’s a trick of the mind you need to see through
when you walk through dark tunnel
under the weight of an ocean
I wish you a safe journey.

it starts here.
the life I have chosen,
the moment I chose to live,
it starts here.
it’s a large blank canvas,
one I will draw with my heart rhythm
one I will push and pulll with my imagination
following the smell of curiosity
the life I have chosen starts here.
