Strength

allow me to rise
to protect those in waiting
allow me to rise
riding the wave of this time
let me express what I’ve got
allow me to rise
one more day
to see this beautiful fresh sun
breath in freshly made new air
and see this wonderful world
one more day
allow me to rise

보게 하소서
이 아름다운 세상을
하루 더 볼 수 있도록
사랑하는 이들을
지켜줄 수 있도록
제게 힘을 주소서

Butterfly

thank you for stopping by
your scent has been wonderful
I even dreamed the past days of passion
where I thought I was truly alive
or perhaps it was the only time I was truly alive
hahahahaha
what does it matter?
I live my own life.
if you come, come.
if you want to go, go.
I will live my life at my own measure of best effort
I will push my own boundaries of limits
and keep striving to become better than yesterday
I will pay the cost, I will live my life.
good luck.

Homeless flower

I thought smelled the scent of cheese
but then again, it could have been urine.
I turned and stared down onto a rock.
a grey, squared, flat rock.
there was a flower, albeit withered, on it.
a puff of white, yellow, and light purple
here and there carefully strewn about
and you think for a bit
who would have placed it there so carefully
as the dawn gets broken by the rising sun
and the cool azure hue dissipates
could it have been his last prayer
could it have been his last offering
could it have been his last hope?
one man’s fight,
one man’s statement,
and one man’s journey.

New beginning

it’s yet another fresh start,
full of unknowns.
a whirlpool of butterflies in the heart,
ghosts of olden memories groans.

true to it all along
the unconscious calling
atoned for deeds gone wrong
now rising to face challenges

I pray this path will be the way
the way of becoming
what is true to all that is laid
the road to the living

새로운 시작을 맞이한다.
초심을 잃지 아니하며
이 길이 먼 훗날
떳떳한 길이 되길 바라며

Rumble

know what you must exhaust
know what you must save
rumble in your heart
don’t let it go to waste

surprised, you will be
how money can save your neck
don’t underestimate value of saving
it could just be your saving grace.

if you fall (I hope you’ll learn its taste)
rise again (in spite of what all expect)
learn (but don’t compromise)
and do it again (but better this time)

살아 남아.
넘어지더라도
배우고 일어서
다시 시도하는거야.

Serendipity

it could be a chance glance on a subway train
it could be a scent in a spring breeze
it could be a punchline in a children’s book
but when it hits you like a wall of ocean waves
and you let it soak in every waking minute
you might start noticing the world suits you
like an Italian cashmere suit tailored for you.
you. only you.

기쁘지 아니한가
우연의 일치로
몸에 맞는 세상을 만난다는것이
