Remembrance

August 6, 2022August 6, 2022 RalphLeave a comment

what glory and honor is needed
when a friendly family suffices
all prerequisite for happiness
despite what shiny things symbolize
what is remembered is perhaps simple:
a loving moment shared by loving people

Gifts

August 5, 2022 RalphLeave a comment

try not to let the gifts fool you
rather than lathering yourself in gold
find discernable diet of restraint to be true;
hunger for growth, which is like fire in cold
when sprinkled like stars in dark night sky
it may shine brighter than moon above high

절제는 미덕이니
스스로를 엄격하게 대하고
가끔씩 상을 주는게
더욱더 빛나는 길이 아닌가 싶다

Interpretation

August 4, 2022 RalphLeave a comment

is the silence opportunity for deeper meaning
or is it a trap of an infinite loop of searching?
is speed of truth limited by speed of light?
is there limit to combinations of feeling right?
so many questions to search for the truth
so are interpretations to be made prude

두 눈 뜨고 공허한 공간을 바라 보아도
두 귀를 쫑긋 세워 고요함을 담아도
진실이 과연 가까이 있는가
질문을 넌지시 던져 본다

Revelation

August 3, 2022 RalphLeave a comment

before you spill your secrets
perhaps ponder upon its meaning.
no, not the meaning of your secrets,
but your act of spilling the beans.
if you contemplate on what it reveals
perhaps the meaning of your secret
does not mean too much.

Fire

August 1, 2022 RalphLeave a comment

where is the fire within your heart?
lighting your path beyond time and space?
warming those around you and lighten up?
keeping you awake at every waking moment?

where is your virtue?
where do you lay your head?
what song do you sing out of your heart?
why do you wake up each morning?

where is the fire within your heart?

춥고 어둔 순간에도
주변에 있는 모두를 따스하게 하던
너의 불꽃은 어디있는가.
그대는 정녕 가슴 뛰는 삶을 살고 있는가.

Break it

July 31, 2022July 31, 2022 RalphLeave a comment

remember, “ash to ash”
who knows what tomorrow brings
today, it’s a good day to be alive
believe in yourself
stay close to what you know to be true
break down all those of gold, if it is not true
live every second in a minute
appreciate principles, humbleness, hunger
rise again when you fall

스스로를 믿어
쓰러져도 일어나
진실된 것들을 찾고
맞다고 생각하는 길을 찾고
용기를 갖어

Little dome

July 30, 2022 RalphLeave a comment

If you don’t have a place to call a home,
write. writing will become your dome
world of your own,
it will be your a companion,
throne, may it not become.
son, you’ll know on day one
you were home all along.

만약, 집이라 부를 곳이 없다면
글을 적어라. 적는 것만이 너의 피난처일지니.
너만의 세계가 될 것이고
너만의 동반자가 될 것이지만
왕좌만이 되지 않길 바란다.
봐라, 언젠간 네가 깨닫는 날이 올 것이니.
너는 이미 집에 있다는 것을.
