come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
Shrouded in mystic vibes,
I mistook aestheticism with intelligence.
Only after stumbling into a pitch of ignorance
Did I remember what it took to learn.
It’s the humbleness, the willingness to let go of superior esteem.
It’s the practicality, to be willing to pick up the axe in a suit.
It’s the responsibility, to be able to respond to the needs.
Hopefully, the steaming emotions will dissipate.
Let the joy arrive in its place instead.

I felt you were with me today.
It was akin to a sense of childhood comfort, ease, and safety.
Nothing to hurry for, fight for, or cry for.
It just was what it was.
The levity in our casual presence lightened my heart.
Who would have known it would come at such time.
It’s this sense of comfort, ease, and wellness I want to carry forward.
Thanks for reminding me this today.
Wherever you are, I hope you shared this feeling.

No matter what others say
No matter what happens
Remember:
I love you.
I have always been, and always will be.
The foundation is always there,
and all you need to remember is to
Stop, breathe, and remember the blue sky.
They were real,
and I hope you carry it with you.
Stay safe,
Be kind to yourself,
and take care.

One step at a time.
Slowly, steadily, and gradually build it.
Trust in yourself,
focus on the road ahead,
and keep on going, calmly.
There may be whirlwind around you
but remember:
if you are willing to lay yourself down
for the sake of what is right
it may be the path worthwhile to take.

As the sun sinks into the horizon,
the lingering warmth dissipates,
and the shadow of the night creeps in,
you can feel it in your bones it is the time again.
It is the time to fast, to withhold the pleasures,
to go through the arduous routine and rise to the occasion
not just once, but again, and again, and again.
It is the time to face the darkness,
to dance with it
without having it leave any traces on you.
And there’s no guarantee you will make it the other end.
But the decision has been made already
and the only way is to go forward.
Can you pull this trick again?
Yes, I can. I will. I am.
It’s a worthwhile to fight for
but remember to be soft and kind
to those who have been through too much.
The road’s not always filled with trenches
but also a long walk through the dark forest
mingling among the crowd with or without anonymity
and sometimes waiting for the sun to rise.
Remember to love.
Seek its profoundness.
Believe in its path.

May we find our paths intertwine again.
As the dusk settles into dark ocean
plunging the world into the unknown
each of us can only brace ourselves
as we tread into the uncharted territory
with a hint of a promise of the light
signaling the end of the tunnel.
Perhaps we should’ve stayed together longer
but alas, time does not await for us.
May you be safe in heart, mind, and body.

You matter to me.
Despite our differences,
there’s a kindred soul I see.
Beyond knowledge, beyond preferences,
beyond labels and languages,
I acknowledge the immovable presence.
Not out of a need to belong to a herd
do we align in formation as a pack,
but rather in reverence to a certain world,
a way of living that we respect,
and a credo we believe and follow
that we form a resonant bond.

On a dry, hot summer day,
a meal was shared
rekindling memories, celebrating what is present,
and imagining a story for the future
originating from the lore of the past.
Alliances were confirmed,
and respects were paid
to each one’s past sufferings.
Laying down lazily in the chair,
we shared what we cared about,
all the while knowing the end is just there.
Merrily, we said goodbyes,
shook hands and share hugs,
and walked out into the dark, humid summer night
to face the new days to come.
7.1.2026
Let the wind come.
Lift your heart up into the air,
leaping into the unknown.
Embrace the nature
smoothly reaching to maturity
while belonging to a community.
Remember who you are connected to
and the warmth that has been shared.
“Be kind to yourself” is what she told you.
Hope that stays with you through this rain storm.
