come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
it could be a chance glance on a subway train
it could be a scent in a spring breeze
it could be a punchline in a children’s book
but when it hits you like a wall of ocean waves
and you let it soak in every waking minute
you might start noticing the world suits you
like an Italian cashmere suit tailored for you.
you. only you.
기쁘지 아니한가
우연의 일치로
몸에 맞는 세상을 만난다는것이

what glory and honor is needed
when a friendly family suffices
all prerequisite for happiness
despite what shiny things symbolize
what is remembered is perhaps simple:
a loving moment shared by loving people
가까운 가족이 장땡이라고

try not to let the gifts fool you
rather than lathering yourself in gold
find discernable diet of restraint to be true;
hunger for growth, which is like fire in cold
when sprinkled like stars in dark night sky
it may shine brighter than moon above high
절제는 미덕이니
스스로를 엄격하게 대하고
가끔씩 상을 주는게
더욱더 빛나는 길이 아닌가 싶다

is the silence opportunity for deeper meaning
or is it a trap of an infinite loop of searching?
is speed of truth limited by speed of light?
is there limit to combinations of feeling right?
so many questions to search for the truth
so are interpretations to be made prude
두 눈 뜨고 공허한 공간을 바라 보아도
두 귀를 쫑긋 세워 고요함을 담아도
진실이 과연 가까이 있는가
질문을 넌지시 던져 본다

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
