come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
notice the light, the shadow, and shapes
have you noticed how much time has passed?
many things have happened
while there wasn’t much time for pondering
flippant words in my writing troubles me
while my dear heart yearns to rumble again
are you still alive?
If you are, I’d like to see you write again
not a superficial one,
but one that’s deeper, heavier, and moving.

it really depends on what light you see things
under the glorious morning sunshine
all you see may be despair and pain
in darkest days of the year
you might find hope in small sparkling lights
how do you see the world now?
how will this moment be remembered?
what do you want it to be?
between things we can control
and things we cannot control
there is a fine line of freedom

it’s like a blindsided hit
the way curve hall strikes
or waves pushes against:
how obstacles come in the way
just as you taste the sweet smooth sailing
all comes crashing down
as if they had been waiting
ah well.
once more into the fray, it is then.
one more day.
one more chance.

home is where I feel good the most
it is where I smile,
where I take off my mask
and dream of past and future
home is where I stand
a place I view the world from
a place of dignity and privacy
and a place for new start
home is where I breath
perform morning rituals
and call your name tenderly.

I am grateful
that I have lived
yet another day
my thoughts,
not as concentrated as past
yet survives
more to be understood,
hidden behind veils,
while I enjoy this trip
I am grateful
for every step
towards bright fulfillment bouquet

thank you for being there
beyond the realm of observable and logic
somewhere in between “yes I can” and limits to what’s feasible.
I learned my lessons hard way,
but I learned there ain’t a breath controll
that can save us all.

how long does it take for you to breath in
how long does it take to recognize a face
how long does it take to take a step forward?
notice it.
then you can start your imagination
how far can you walk a day, a month, a year?
how many dots can you connect for a solution?
how many days, years to get to where you want to be?
if the calculation is done
and you have enough faith in it
take a deep breath.
then, move.
believe.

time is now:
when things are calm and peaceful
now is to run as fast and quiet as you can
for future may hold new surprises
be steadfast at getting ready
to sprint with explosion
imploring multidimensional possibilities
surging through currents of light
be ready
it’s time to strike the lightening

live with a full heart
churning fiery energy
to look afar
but listen to your body
trust your heart
take a leap of faith
if all fails, do restart
it will be worth the wait
live with a full heart
you won’t regret it
it is living form of an art
life’s fun is in it

you don’t want to be in a bubble
but you also don’t want to be in an eye of a hurricane
all criticisms, admonishment, and yelling
I know they come from a good place
and I don’t have any grudges against you
but I wonder
if I started to like myself a little less
when I am yelled at for what I have done
when I am given a silent treatment for failing
I fought my way through,
and I am not sure what I was fighting against
was it the world
or was it myself?
still, I don’t want to be in a bubble
safely protected from all harms way
I want to grow
a story of truth, humanity, and adventure.
