Presence

Even if you feel like everyone’s pointing their fingers at you,

even if you feel those you trusted hurt you back,

and even if you feel taken advantage of,

Let us dance.

Yes, you have hurt a plenty of people.

Yes, you have tried to manipulate others.

Yes, you have betrayed their trust and expectations.

For now, let us dance.

Let our hearts sooth,

let our heads sway,

let our feet float.

Slowly, and surely,

let us rejoice this simple joy

of being here, with each other,

at this moment.

As if I am standing just across a veil to you,

I feel your presence by my side.

whether it is an inch, a meter, or thousands of kilometers away,

I feel your presence by my side.

The way you swing your arms,

the way you crack open a laughter,

or the way your eyes crease by the sides,

it is as real as it had been a few moments ago.

Of course, I am stating clearly at the current of the time.

Still, knowing your presence gives me courage and hope.

Darkest

in my darkest hours,
I subtly noticed that I was alone.
only the silence and darkness
that felt like eternity remained.

thankfully, it is now pocketed
in the corner of my memory
and in the thickening of my skin
to withstand another tsunami

if you are in your darkest moment,
let me offer you my silent presence.
I will remind you that you’re not alone
and that I believe in your growth.
