humbled at every moment
for my own room to grow
but I won’t dwell on my embarrassment.
I will keep my head even
looking forward to rising days
to take one step after another
and become a better man.

Feelings
once it is here,
the next, it is gone
the fleeting, ephemeral
yet quintessential element;
source of inspiration
for many.
I wish you a luck
to catch this while it lasts.

Heart
as the front runner said,
“you gotta follow your heart.”
even if it is to stick your head
into the mouth of a tiger,
if you go with your full heart
you won’t regret it.
if you do anything half-hearted,
that’s when you will see yourself
languishing in eternity.
follow your heart.
accept this path.

Reach
I am stretching my arm
to write what I want to write
but there are other responsibilities.
I know I have kept you waiting
but hold on
I am almost there to make the reach.
In a few days, you’ll see.

Dream
For those who dare to dream of a noble cause,
We applaud and support them.
Because it takes money to dream,
we continually work
and weave our dreams.
For those who work
every waking moment,
confidence builds.
For those who prepare for the moment,
the lightning shall be caught.
So now, let’s build.
I want to build my own story.

Care
it might feel burdensome sometimes,
but it is a noble thing to do.
to care for others than yourself,
and honoring their way of life.
but foremost of all,
remember to take care of yourself.
life comes and goes,
yet we are here to dance.

Adventure
a new journey begins.
less materials in my pocket
but more in my heart and mind.
at the end of the day,
that’s what matters.

Sleep
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.
