for once, think about now.
forget what has passed
and peer into possibilities
the present can change
more than what you are used to.
have a courage to change
the world will follow.

piercing through the focal point
we see through the future
what do we lose
for this great adventure of the past
woe is the ignorant
of the future marching down with thunder
I wonder
if we’ll survival this trip.
미래를 모르는 현재
과연 우리는 살아남을 수 있을까.
현재의 우리는
미래에 맞서 어떻게 살아남는가.

New people
it is hard to tell when to cross a line
or when to cross a line
when I meet new people.
How many personas does one need to have?
such different group of people
such different meaning behind gestures
such different attitudes and behaviors
new suddenly becomes old
and old quickly becomes forgotten.
who do I remember from the past
and what promise do I live up to?

Shooting star
the sweet warmth hit my face point blank
stunned, I uttered few words of confusion
then softness disappeared around the corner
left me wondering ‘has all this been a dream?’
but the eyes, the smiles, the ears, and hairs
I remember them vividly; as if I could touch
had I been back into the past, that moment,
I’ll hold your hand and tell you: ‘I see you’
and would just stare into those eyes
those eyes deep with warmth and clarity
I may have rather a chilly side to my heart
but I’ll keep working it to bring you warmth
