come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
I remember the crisp air, clear sunlight
elegantly, silently laying down on a balcony
of a wooden library deck through tree branches
as I sat still in a chair, staring up to the sky.
A sense of invigorating purpose
beaming within me resonated with the scene.
It is my wish that I will remember it all
as I march into a new chapter.

a silent tsunami of grief engulfed the world
blindsided, I am pulled deep under pressure
it’s rather calm within cacophony of disasters
before I daze myself in beauty of this mess
I must inflict a wound upon myself
waking myself up to what is now and here
and work harder towards the reward
reward may be the unknown yet
but I put a blind faith in it
perhaps it is to land a hand to those
who even struggle to breath
who dream of walking freely outside
who yearn to see the daylight,
for I can. I can experience this.
let these people experience this too.
