Gratitude

RalphLeave a comment

I did not know I’d be here 5 years ago
I had felt as though I was completely lost
lost in ocean as dark storm raged on
I only had a life vest to hold onto

who would have known it would be seen by others
who would have known I’d be boarded
onto this new world, world so bright
as I take one more step, I pray to pay my gratitude

오직 감사함만이 있을 뿐.

New beginning

RalphLeave a comment

it’s yet another fresh start,
full of unknowns.
a whirlpool of butterflies in the heart,
ghosts of olden memories groans.

true to it all along
the unconscious calling
atoned for deeds gone wrong
now rising to face challenges

I pray this path will be the way
the way of becoming
what is true to all that is laid
the road to the living

새로운 시작을 맞이한다.
초심을 잃지 아니하며
이 길이 먼 훗날
떳떳한 길이 되길 바라며

Rumble

RalphLeave a comment

know what you must exhaust
know what you must save
rumble in your heart
don’t let it go to waste

surprised, you will be
how money can save your neck
don’t underestimate value of saving
it could just be your saving grace.

if you fall (I hope you’ll learn its taste)
rise again (in spite of what all expect)
learn (but don’t compromise)
and do it again (but better this time)

살아 남아.
넘어지더라도
배우고 일어서
다시 시도하는거야.

Throw

RalphLeave a comment

I want to make a throw that matters.
No matter what others laugh at or say
I want to make a point for you.
And for this, I throw it with all I have.

Getting ride of impurities
by thousands of hammering strikes
I want to get rid of false images in my head
with a excoriating heat of silence.

언젠가 떠오르리라
가슴에 품은 정열의 꿈.

Into the storm

RalphLeave a comment

distracting sound of cicada dissipates
leaving only the dull weight of silence
no whimsical wind of innocence
only unforgiving reminder of quietness

open your eyes now, truly, and see
what the world truly is made to be
if you can stomachs what you see
wiggle your toe and move with me

고난을 암시한 고요함이 도착하고
살아남기 위해서 집중하는 시간이 온다.
진실을 보고도 견딜 용기가 있다면
조금이라도 움직일 용기가 있다면
움직여라.

Explosion

Ralph4 Comments

strangely, there’s no regret.
perhaps this was waiting to happen:
shouting at the top of the lung,
spitting out all dumb words,
and stomping like a gorilla.

I felt a dark fermented matter
evaporating from white hot fury.
it may have been in a blind spot corner
but now it’s gone, there’s clarity
there’s lightness in the heart.

Is this what I had been ignoring all along?
has this monster been in my blind spot all this time?
how can I address the stem of this element?
it’s a time for a change.
change to see things for what they are
and moving towards a better light.

낯설다. 분노의 탈이 쓰인 모습이.
어디에서 온것이고
어떻게 생기게 된것이고
왜 존재하는가
의문심을 품게 되는 저녁이다.
