come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
stay focused on the now
too many words fluttering in your head
yes, it’s nice to gaze at old memories
yes, there were good warm memories
but now is the time to exist
to pay the full attention
exist here today
before the time slips away
and becomes filled with regrets.

may there be light.
when darkness blind us,
may our cherished memories
clear our eyes and lift our spirits
may the warmth of our heart
reverberate throughout our body
let us now our heads at dusk
and prepare to light up for our posterity.

a little bumbleness goes a long way
humbleness may not be a sign of weakness
but a promise to oneself to be stronger soon
it’s the courage that will withstand shame
and with a clear mind, walk with dignity
and ensures a brighter future for future self.
do not let if not take it for granted.
one day it may pay off.

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

threads of our insights
woven together
shine the night sky bright
wondrous moment, I wonder
silent serendipity of delight
the world of serene divinity, forever.

as I walk through the beach
I see people running;
some are running towards the ocean,
while others running towards the land.
some are dancing in the sand dune,
sweat droplets sprinkling over the desert
A few, I see then laying down under the sun
receiving, waiting for something unknown
all look merry in their occupation
but I walk the walk alone
steadily towards where my heart leads along.

you don’t want to be in a bubble
but you also don’t want to be in an eye of a hurricane
all criticisms, admonishment, and yelling
I know they come from a good place
and I don’t have any grudges against you
but I wonder
if I started to like myself a little less
when I am yelled at for what I have done
when I am given a silent treatment for failing
I fought my way through,
and I am not sure what I was fighting against
was it the world
or was it myself?
still, I don’t want to be in a bubble
safely protected from all harms way
I want to grow
a story of truth, humanity, and adventure.

I did live today to my full potential
thanks to that, I remembered our days
days where we walked slowly together
talking about our dreams
and occasional dance we did together
in a warm haven of ours
oblivious to the world outside
smooth, soft, and slow
and when our eyes were open
crystal clear sun rays would tickle
world slowly awaken and reborn
오늘 하루 열심히 살았어요
덕분에 그대와의 좋은 기억이 났어요
세상이 어떻게 돌아가던
우리만의 아늑함 속에
느리게 추던 춤이 생각나요

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.

sitting here in my chair
reading your notifications
as jazz music flows in earbuds
in this silent dark night
I start noticing
tiny little bits of light
building in my chest
I realized it was a reflection
of light from everywhere
it is still a dark night
and I embraced all of these light
with gratitude
and a vow to pay it forward
