when you let the world sink in as it is,
and do not look away from it,
feeling all of its colors, smells, and textures,
you realize, it remains within you.
it leaves traces of itself
and marks residues symbolizing your growth.

Residues
Tag: light
Imagined
hold on to your dream
it will come true.
it may be tough now
all will prevail somehow.
let go of your past
and face the world with your best
tomorrow will come
so will your hope to become.

Misconception
thrive to be where you are right to be.
what is right place to be after all?
we are all wandering looking for something
anyways.
yet sometimes when the ruck strickes right
we walk a path that is alone
but meant to be heard by all.

Silence
when my heart no longer seeks distractions,
the eloquent silence arrives
like the dusk;
not freezing cold nor comfortably warm;
not too dark, but not too shiny.
as consciousness submerges into this realm
a silent resonance emanates from within.
listen to it, and walk.
do not fear,
for all is here,
and here it remains.

Acceptance
It is not my fault
that the ground I walked on
was already filled with trash.
yet I had turned my mind’s eye away
from the memory of having the walk
and lived on as nothing had happened.
I reached out my hand today
to the memory long neglected.
I accept who I was,
what I have seen, in spite of
what I had hope for
as I accept who I am now.

Persona
there are inevitables – age, wealth, and so on.
let us leverage what we are given
and shine the brightest in our own way
and brush the dream of our own
onto the dark cold night as our canvass
let us find our persona – a key to the world –
and wrestle until the sun rises.

Thoughts
what I wish for
and what I imagine
may they adhere
to my principle.
may every waking moment
be dedicated to such
and rise again
should I fall.

Effort
give it all you’ve got each moment
live each moment with wide eyes
breath in the air in clear mind.
once you let your attention go,
time will start to fly like a kite,
and when you open your eyes,
you, and the world, has already changed.
live the moment.
remember the moment.

Worth
was it worth it?
we explore the world
looking for people
I sometimes wonder
if it was worthwhile in the end.
do you keep walking into the forest
hoping the forks of the roads
meet each other in the end
or do you venture out
and seek the people?
I wonder
I wonder

Sleep
I need sleep
yet the dream
keeps me awake.
yet I know:
keep your head cool
as your heart heats up
