sleep early.
it turns out
not only a whole day
can be ruined
with a foggy mind,
but your relationships
may also be in a dire place.
tend to your mind and body
and honor those
who show grace to you.

Experience
experience it, you won’t regret it.
through it all, you will know.
world beyond the knowns.
smile, struggle, and prevail.
feel the rumble in your spine,
let the muscles and nerves do the work.
experience it.
experience it fully.
it will be a worthwhile destination.

Beginning
staring into the dot,
I saw only the dot.
the more I stared at it though,
I started to see something else.
I started to appreciate how it stays here
when it could have been anywhere.
I appreciate how it encompasses opposite
of blankness.
I appreciate how we all are eventually
a dot, like itself, when seen from far, far away.
I started to see the world, the life, all encompassed.
I appreciated the dot.

Puzzle
life is a puzzle.
one after another
we face a problem to solve.
I am stuck in this one
and have been so for a while
how do I overcome myself?
too much introspection
too much pressure don’t do much justice.
find a way for loving the others
while loving myself
is one of the hardest problem i see.

Light
let there be light, warmth, and love.
let us dream, understand, and embrace.
regardless of what we have gone through,
let us smile and greet each other.
let us breath freely and rejoice in shades.
let us move onwards with our heads held high.

Star
take it a little lighter
when you feel the pressure
one step at a time
look into the problem to define
what you can do now
so that figuring out how
we reach the star
won’t be to far

Proximity
when we are close
in silence
you know
and I know
what we are thinking.
to note each body language
requires too many words;
rather, it’s ‘je ne sais quoi.’
no words needed;
yet your soul
and my soul
were warm
for albeit a brief moment.
farewell.
may your path illuminate in darkness.

New
perhaps now is the time.
I feel pain in the head
and the heart feels rather numb.
I no longer feel the excitement
when I win a match;
only vainglory remains.
but this is a murky ground.
your friends, colleagues, and mentors
holds on to you.
to say no to all of that
and to take a leap
takes a fiery courage
to walk a blazing trail.
let us hold our head high.
let us prevail.

Doubt
a moment of hesitation
creates a mile long gap
between what you could’ve been
and what you are now.
let us aim for the tallest wave
and launch at the chance
to seize them all.

Fire
walk into the fire
if you try to survive
you will fail
if you dare to live right
you will succeed.
pain is transient
but your deeds will be remembered.
walk into the fire.
it will be alright.
