a tidal wave slowly rises
engulfing the earth beneath
it’s not yet in forms of crisis
trudge the water in discreet
close your eyes when the sun sets
tomorrow presents another chance to get

Gratitude
grateful for providence
when least expected.
in humbleness, honor is found.
in quietness, confidence is sound.
one more day, we cope.
one more day, we hope.

Wonder
I haven’t felt as alive as I am now
as long as I can remember;
an inception has taken place.
I want to be the best kind of a person
I want to be able to give everything I can
I want to be there whenever I can.
I can feel new warmth, new vibrant colors,
sweetness in the air, and softness of breeze.
what is this magnetic feeling?

Hope
I laid down on a hill on night
saw the sky full of stars
I dreamed one day to feel alight
as I take a step forward into the dark
I find strength in knowing the light within
one that brings joy promised to begin

Heart
I dare to raise my head and dream.
no matter how loudly my body scream
it wouldn’t work; that it will crash,
I want to give it my all of my best,
in the hopes that perhaps
when we truly see each other and just
care for what we find precious.
That will be wondrous.

Light
why so serious?
try a smile on your face,
isn’t it wondrous,
how we learn our fate,
dancing like a raindrop in a storm
ready to rumble when it’s lukewarm
let us be light,
find solace in delight.

Understanding
I want to see where you are
I want to see the pain you go through.
and perhaps the onus is on me
to live to the edge to know
what you are going through.
I want to be your friend.
I hope you can see this too.

Smile
i don’t know you,
but if I could offer you one thing,
I would give you my smile.
I can’t feel what you are feeling now
but I hope this smile will give you warmth,
like a flash of sunlight from a car in the street.
I wish you well.

Stubborn
there’s a stubborn rock
unwilling to move
no matter how sweet the song is,
no matter how loud the scream is,
it just wouldn’t budge.
I’m going to figure out
what it will take to make it sing of love.

Rain
rain fell and tapped the earth
like a gentle curtain on a wind.
world starts to look its part
as if my vision has restored.
I marveled at the split moment
of a rain drop, smashing onto surface
of a pond in a public park
making, albeit momentarily,
an impact.
both to the world, and to my mind.
