come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
piercing through the focal point
we see through the future
what do we lose
for this great adventure of the past
woe is the ignorant
of the future marching down with thunder
I wonder
if we’ll survival this trip.
미래를 모르는 현재
과연 우리는 살아남을 수 있을까.
현재의 우리는
미래에 맞서 어떻게 살아남는가.

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.

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

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.

I wish you love,
wherever you may be.
I wish you safety
wherever you travel to.
I wish you happiness
in whatever it is you choose to do.
see you soon.
어디에 있던,
그대가 행복하길 바랍니다.

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.

how little do I know of the world
fear starts to creep in from the shadows
fear used to be a motivator
now it’s a vague reminder of where I come from.
with new fresh set of eyes
I sit in with a saint, waiting for a judgement call.
8.19.2022
if it doesn’t bring joy
get rid of ‘em
it can get scary
to be free again
but when you are from dust
what have you got to fuss?
you matter.
your time matter.
remember.
구질구질한 하루
꾸역꾸역 살아가기 보단
조금씩이라도
어렸을적 즐거움을 주던
그 길을 찾아 걸어가보는건
어떨까.

I am looking for an organic silence;
an active quietness with a purpose
sidestepping from mindless noises
submerging into a zone of focus
it may be a minute difference,
but with a full purpose and focus —
you just wait and see — explosion:
one filled with all kinds of imagination.
고요함 속에
천천한 변화 속에
새로운 세상이
불꽃처럼 등장하길
기도하고 있다.

it was a way to let it all go;
simply opening the door
and taking one step after another
leaving all of the junks behind.
holding onto nothing
but a key and a phone
I let myself go
out into the world
pastel blue sky imbued in feather clouds
greeted me like an ocean
I saw and I knew:
this is the world I live in.
오직 모든 것들을 내려놓고
내 골방을 빠져나온 후에야,
내 자신을 해방시키고 난 후에야,
나는 비로소 세상을 보았다.
세상을 본 나는 그래서야 깨달았다.
‘내가 이 세상에 살고 있구나’ 라고.
