come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
there are favorite moments I have
walking through a meadow
towards my family on a dusky fall evening
waking up under a winter morning sunshine
listening to quiet liveliness of summer night
heartening arrival of spring from cold wind
fragments of memories may be precious
because they seldom arrive
perhaps, amid this monotonous phase
a lucky fragment will bud.

ah darn, coding is hard
I don’t want to waste time
staring at the monitor
drying up like a beached squid
what I want to do
I want to talk to you
I want to sit next to you
listening to this tune
reading this book
maybe if you’re here
it might be easier to code
but then again
it might be my procrastination
doing the talk.

I pray I don’t sway
by praise nor blame
that I stay away
from temptatious ways
that I’ll stay true
regardless of whether others will see through
I pray that there will be light
that there will be laughter and smile
diligent work built on trust
humble honesty weaving a society just
hopeful in dreams of eventual reunion
teeming with faithful heart for a communion.

I am ready.
every second
it’s a big bang of serendipity.
albeit your brief presence
it’s been a whirlwind of rhapsody.
I am ready
to honor the code of your dignity
to open ears and eyes to your voice
and to be the faithful guard to your principles

notice the light, the shadow, and shapes
have you noticed how much time has passed?
many things have happened
while there wasn’t much time for pondering
flippant words in my writing troubles me
while my dear heart yearns to rumble again
are you still alive?
If you are, I’d like to see you write again
not a superficial one,
but one that’s deeper, heavier, and moving.

it really depends on what light you see things
under the glorious morning sunshine
all you see may be despair and pain
in darkest days of the year
you might find hope in small sparkling lights
how do you see the world now?
how will this moment be remembered?
what do you want it to be?
between things we can control
and things we cannot control
there is a fine line of freedom

it’s like a blindsided hit
the way curve hall strikes
or waves pushes against:
how obstacles come in the way
just as you taste the sweet smooth sailing
all comes crashing down
as if they had been waiting
ah well.
once more into the fray, it is then.
one more day.
one more chance.

I am grateful
that I have lived
yet another day
my thoughts,
not as concentrated as past
yet survives
more to be understood,
hidden behind veils,
while I enjoy this trip
I am grateful
for every step
towards bright fulfillment bouquet

thank you for being there
beyond the realm of observable and logic
somewhere in between “yes I can” and limits to what’s feasible.
I learned my lessons hard way,
but I learned there ain’t a breath controll
that can save us all.

how long does it take for you to breath in
how long does it take to recognize a face
how long does it take to take a step forward?
notice it.
then you can start your imagination
how far can you walk a day, a month, a year?
how many dots can you connect for a solution?
how many days, years to get to where you want to be?
if the calculation is done
and you have enough faith in it
take a deep breath.
then, move.
believe.
