It’s time to shine.
No matter what others say,
don’t let your knees buckle.
Clench your jaw,
rise again,
and start running.
You made a promise.
Remember your promise.

Promise
If your words were true,
then put your skin in the game,
and prove your words with your actions.
Keep the warmth of the people close to your heart.
Remember your anchors.
Breath. Focus. Move.

Dedication
when the days were dark and silent
when time felt fragile,
I made a promise, after a long talk.
Some time has passed,
but it is good to remember it is there.
to remember the beginning of all
to stay true to the original belief
it is one that I hope to keep.

Promise
let’s promise this
even if we drift apart
let’s love.
love all things in the world.
the blue, grey, purple, orange, red sky
the ever-fleeting golden wings of luck
the unquenchable thirst to connect
let us love them all.
yes, it could get boring
yea, it could be painful
but let’s promise this:
let’s love.

Scene 6
I was sitting by the window in the bakery
soaking in the chamomile-gold sunset
perhaps I smelled freshly baked breads
perhaps I had a half-emptied cup of ice coffee
but the promise I made, I remember
one that turned out I would keep only half
but one that was worthwhile nonetheless

Promise
Lips of green tree leaves touch
On a peacefully quiet summer evening
Smooth sliver of wind loftily engulfs both
Holding each other softly close caressing
In darkness, their shapes dissolve
Wholly together, throbbing halves evolve
Into stream of movements, rumbling,
Rolling, and spinning together twinkling
A morning comes, a clear drew rests on
Each of their forehead, cooling off, or
Shedding tears, unexpected, unpracticed
Smiling into each other, satisfied.
