Fury

Open your eyelids wide,

Don’t forget what is true and what is fake,

Baiting on your mind so fragile (yet you do not know)

Silent orcas looms underneath dark shadows of the blue ocean.

Stare up into the sky, ponder upon the nets of constellation,

True north is where you’re bound,

Open your eyes wide and stay vigilant.

The end will be already here.

Gratitude

Thank you, for allowing me to see this day light, a stream of crystals glistening the atmosphere that I breath in.

That you, for allowing me to memorize the sound of the wind swooshing like an ocean wave crashing into the bank of sand.

Thank you, for this tantalizing droplet of water, respite of the spirit and body, as it quenches the unresting soul in the heart.

Ocean Crystal

Deep, deep into the ocean, as you swim, digging yourself further,

You may hold your breath, pushing yourself, counting each new seconds

But perhaps, it might you’d need to set a measuring stick, an invisible one made of crystal

That never changes no matter how strong the wave hits, no matter what animal swims by

So that your lungs will continue to grow before you even know about it.

Perhaps that’s where all the jewelries lie.

Sides

Though it’s painful,

We must walk the walk, like

Walking on the waves of ocean,

Walking on crackling volcano lava stones,

Walking on the thorniest cactus farm.

Perhaps the mirror that projects this pain

Perhaps reflects what’s inside all along

Singing a melancholy song of independence

Still, let me walk the walk,

For the end of journey is not now

So will anyone know the truth after all

Needle

It’s a throw grain of salt into an ocean
Watch where it flows into a scene

Lightly dancing on a twinkling snaps of splashes,
it grooves along the waves

Swirling slowly, loftily into the sea.
From the white emerald, to dark and darker sapphire it sinks.

Letting its body pulled by sole gravity.
It alone journeys towards its destiny.

In the pitch bottom,

It’s said to be singing.

Singing a song of a dream.
Not of its glorious and lush past,
Not of its twinkling future,

But of its journey.

A journey that has not yet ended.

Candor

When the gentle breeze in the dusk

Calls me to the path I’d taken long ago,

I’ll go. Pack my suites and a wristwatch

Notebook and a pen in my hand.

I’d trudge through the dark night

Content in companions of stars and a moon

I’d silently walk the road alone again

Bracing for the unknown.

When the sun starts to rise, I’d thank

For being alive, of having seem the light

And keep relaxed but steady gaze forward

When the sun is up high and blazing

Peacefully, as if nothing cold happened

I’d throw a quick glance at back when

the sun starts to set over the horizon of

The ocean beach or clouds over mountains

Smile a smile just to smile.
