come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
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.

I want it all:
kick of adrenaline achieving daily goals,
thrill of kissing deadlines goodbyes
and flush of lush joy from music.
아무리 모두가 이해하지 못 한다 해도
나는 내 길을 걸어야 한다고 생각해.
이게 내 숙명이자 숙제인것 같아.
언젠가 한번 꾸었던 꿈을
지금 걷는 이 길에서 다시 볼 수 있길 바라.

dancing in the desert
scorching sun above
moisture quickly dissipating
and I don’t know
when the dance will end
때로는 격렬하게,
때로는 천천히 음미하며
사막 한가운데서 춤을 춘다.
이것의 결과가 곧 오리라 믿으며.

the black crow, fear, has arrived again.
hawking large black wings arrive one by one.
like shadow it is silent when it arrives.
even air feels colder. or have I imagined it?
familiar, though, it is.
a lonely path one must take to the world,
I wonder what will be at the end of this tunnel
may it be hope.
may it be hope.

when you decide to fly,
what you notice first is
darkness underneath your feet
telling you “I’ve been there, it’s all gonna work out”
isn’t going to sound much help
ease that brewing cold anxiety
but look into my eyes:
I show you that I lived through my fair share
what yours will be, let it be the world to show you
brother, dream.
dream big.
big enough to rule this fear.
I believe in you.

may the love you feel limitless
this ephemeral, biological, and transcendental
state of existence: let it be limitless.
limitless of what it can show you
limitless on how it can let you grow
limitless on what it can do for you
may the love you feel limitless

some view life as an art,
some view life as a war.
While there is time to strike,
I propose gearing up;
prepare for a trip into the fray
or to build a work yet to be made
the day is yet too young to see the dark
let us rise to our chances for our fate

scenery before my eyes
blossoms into different shapes
heights, color, and, yes, scents.
with just a flick of a finger
with a grave weight.
Mind you, the weight of this act.
Let alone the sceneries,
mountains, oceans, and people,
thousands of millions of people
were passed by in a blink of an eye.
Yet remember;
remember regardless of this change.
the soft, unbreakable part of you
that you left behind.
also, remember your vow you made
in a blissful, youthful ignorance
to achieve what you’ve promised.
those bold promises you made
don’t let it go awashed into shade.
and lastly,
remember the love.
remember to love.

how frequently do you remember seeing a sunset?
how frequently do you let your eyeballs soak in its glorious meltdown
and let your soul melt in its basking orange-rouge warmth?
and what do you feel? gratitude or bittersweetness? anger or sadness?
how frequently do you remember seeing a sunset?

if my actions were droplets,
please let it be the ones of many that
shape the curve in the stone
for you to enjoy a respite under the shadow
please let it be the quiet budding of leaves
for you to enjoy the sound of ocean
as you cool off the heat in summer breeze
please let it be one step of the many
to travel this far distance to reach to you
to be there when you need someone
if my actions were droplets,
please let these be so.
