그대를 바라보았다.
하염없이 허공을
눈 껌벅이며 쳐다보는 그대를
바라보았다.
그대는 무엇을 느끼고 있을까
그대의 심장은 어느 박자로 뛰고 있을까
그대의 온기는 얼마나 따뜻한걸까
그대를 바라보며 오늘도 하염없이
허공을 날아본다.

Levity
Child, where did you go?
You’ve left your sandbox too early
The green pasture waves at you longingly
Bidding you to come back and go on the adventure with everyone waiting for you.
Child, where did you go?
Fire has gone out, no more breaking, no more numbing, no more pain will visit you any more.
Child, remember to fight when you can.

Heart
As I sat at the bank of sand by the beach,
A tear rolled down my cheek.
Hollow heart ache for a reverie
Void of butterflies of intimacy
Facade of bravado washed away
Craving of softness, laid my head thy way.

Protocol
When in doubt,
Run towards where the fire is at.
When in doubt,
Donate what you possess.
When in doubt,
Work on your muscles.

Riddle
Threw a tons of question
Answers stink of their immorality
Yet something about its warmth
Draws my attention closer
Wondering what it could be
I dip my finger to give it a try
Hoping this won’t take awhile
But who knows what beholds inside this one.

Shield
Because the shields are born out of fire,
They thrive on pressure.
Battlefield is where they are called to.
When bullets explore towards you,
When the silvery teeth blink from sheath,
Shields are called upon, to tank it all, and then push back.
Guarding its realm of space, they thrive.
When you see a fire, run towards it.
For the shields are with you as always.

Running On A Rope
Deep contemplation and years of encounters,
Thousands of practices may have prepared for this sprint
A challenge visited like a whimsical hail storm, a quick sand in a vast desert,
Your question prompts series of serious decisions to be made.
Do I know enough?
Do I risk my time?
Uncertain slope of the rope is to be ignored with a sprint.
Only fingers that are crossed may do something about this business.

Rolly Polly
Spark of reflection of white sun light
Caused my eye to blink,
Waking up to the wave of glistening river
Sending a breeze of summer air,
Causing my nose to sneeze,
Waking up to the rising trunks of concrete buildings
With nylon red and blue soaking in the pool of water
Rêverie of the summer. Blessing to remember.

Spiral
Be kind to yourself.
Because when others visit your soul, they will be nourished in your joy and happiness.
Be courageous with yourself.
Because in the cold moments, the fire of justice will guide those who have been lost.
Be ready with yourself.
Because the moment of testament will strike like a lightening to electrify everything.

Morse
In the rhythm of wind breezing by the tree branchs,
In the way that the sunlight hit the earth
In the way historic men have built the ivory walls
Lies the code, the prevaricated mystery, a consonant rhythm.
Isolate your ears and eyes. Embrace the nothingness. Clear your mind. And see and create the path that’s been already there.
