Gratitude

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.

Into the storm

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.

Scent of rain

the season has arrived!
the sky is covered in grey clouds
brooding something mystical
the trees shaking its branches in waves
as gust of wind blows
in the shadows, you can feel it:
there is something magical in all this.
perhaps it foretells a storm to come
nevertheless I love this stormy breeze
under the grey cloudy sky.

Question

As the lightening strikes the olive trees

I feel the rumbling for the storm in my heart

When the jaguars launch from the mountain

Pouncing on the orangutan

My eyes follow it.

My body stay steady, prepared to soak into the art of preying performed so vividly.

Such a meticulous act needs to be studied

Instead of jumping into stop them

Study closely.

Promise the future.

Remember this act.

Commit to an improvement, an evolution.

Remember.
