Friend

it’s quiet, but not heavy.
a clear light blue sky,
and bright airy sun ray
leans into my navy shadow room.

I part my lips to say:
“I know you are here
even if I cannot see you now.

Thank you for all you did for me.
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for staying with me.”

and I closed my eyes.

Goal

are we remnants of our thoughts,
memories, and traces of foods?
what do we hold on to
when the world shakes us?
what keeps our heart warm
when everyone has left
our snow white party at night?

I suspect this:
we create new meaning each minute.
we breath and reach out our hands
into the future unknown
then we will arrive
at our destination soon.
