come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
a leverage can get you quickly
to your destination.
But I want to steep in
like a sauna in a white cold winter
when the warmth reaches my bones
I can start to realize
there are not only stars in this wide sky
but also the silent constellations.

like an amoeba staring at a bird,
like a dog running after a car,
I chase after a beaten path.
yes, I know I am ashamed
and part of my drive to ignore this shame
moves me when I am the most tired.
a sun shined once, very briefly.
and I learned in that priceless moment
that you must choose to live for yourself.
and the rest of the world will follow.

every day, I am hoping,
wishing for a miracle.
in the ocean of sand grains,
I yearn to become the one.
one that is picked up,
one who is loved,
one who knows the truth.
saved from calamities.
then I saw the sun.
ever-shining sun.
it was beautiful.
I am immersed in
its repetitive motions,
and all of its colors.
And so did a smile
on my lips
as I woke up again
in the morning.

I don’t know why
but you’ve been in my mind
like a sweet blue sky
shining in my eyes
I am trying to keep my mind
from reaching that high
but like a cotton candy that fly
high into summer sky
my eyes open too wide
with your smile.

let’s go long than short.
it’s a marathon than a sprint.
the sun will rise again
and we’ll forget all the pain
but the results will remain
and we’ll want to gain
something more than yesterday
a stepping stone for a better day.
pack your patient when you can
believe you’ll be there in the end.

how is it that
some people read on and on
and never get tired
while there are those
who get tired in 1 hour?
is it the matter of principle?
is it the matter of intelligence?
nothing is in your way to become
like the person next to you,
but you write your own story.
so what will it be:
a story of bitterness
or one of fearlessness?
9.19.2023
hold on to your dream
it will come true.
it may be tough now
all will prevail somehow.
let go of your past
and face the world with your best
tomorrow will come
so will your hope to become.

thrive to be where you are right to be.
what is right place to be after all?
we are all wandering looking for something
anyways.
yet sometimes when the ruck strickes right
we walk a path that is alone
but meant to be heard by all.

It is not my fault
that the ground I walked on
was already filled with trash.
yet I had turned my mind’s eye away
from the memory of having the walk
and lived on as nothing had happened.
I reached out my hand today
to the memory long neglected.
I accept who I was,
what I have seen, in spite of
what I had hope for
as I accept who I am now.

there are inevitables – age, wealth, and so on.
let us leverage what we are given
and shine the brightest in our own way
and brush the dream of our own
onto the dark cold night as our canvass
let us find our persona – a key to the world –
and wrestle until the sun rises.
