Glimmering

Warm and bright, white light filled the universe

As much as my eyes could embrace the world,

each molecule bursted into golden kaleidoscope of the sun

you were eternally smiling, filled with innocent joy and love

with your eyes, imploring to join you in your song.

Levitating, swooning and swirling in smooth and sweet melody,

we walked the path ever so bright and fearless.

Comparison

Thought I was being smart

preparing for the unknown,

becoming better than yesterday,

well, becoming better *at being better than others* than yesterday.

Instead, holding onto its sharp edge

I wondered why this matters in the first place.

As I sat in the dark,

I thought of the meal I had shared on a Thursday evening.

It was just any other day.

It lasted only an hour or two,

but I vividly remember I was there.

And the words I have heard,

the stories that were told,

and the ideas that were exchanged

are not something I want to dismiss

as just a moment of reverie.

It mattered.

It has shown me something that mattered.

I choose to believe the reason lies in there,

to keep on holding on.

And to believe it will work out in the end.

Hope

I wish for the warmth in the morning of winter.

The coolness of a breeze in the late summer afternoon,

and the song in our heart dancing in circles.

Playful talks, roaring laughs, and feeling smiles,

full of hope, we’d march forward.

We’d be ready for what’s to come.

Follow

Sway a little, twist a whistle,

Groove in rhythm, beating a drum.

Bum-da-dum, and here I am.

Dum-da-dum, here we go.

Look into my eyes and see the sky,

glimpse of your soul in the darkest hour,

rising again with a golden sunlight

ever so bright with warmth of delight.

Hum-ho, let’s get going,

Hum-hum-ho, here we go!

Library

A small free library stood in front of a porch.

Among the jumble of books and drawing books,

I found an old copy of the northern folktale.

The brown pages of the book seemingly glowed

under the sunlight as the sun dipped into the horizon.

In return, I left a book from my own collection

one I had brought from the New England.

In this tiny house of books,

worlds and stories are shared.
