come, stay and let's talk. it's a good day to be alive
it’s a dream, in a way, you know,
no matter what may be going on around you,
you keep staring at the star in the dark night.
in the top floor of a high rise,
through window bars of a basement,
in the middle of cemetery,
or amongst ocean of people at a party,
you keep staring at the star in the dark night.
it’s okay if you lose the ground
it’s okay if the tower falls down.
keep staring at the star
and make a wish upon it from your heart.

it feels funny
when you tread on an uncharted territory
every step wobbles
and I cannot tell if it is good or bad
so far, I’ve been loving it.
risk reminds you are alive
until you crash and cry and think again.
let us fly.
let are wobble propel us forward and beyond
let us reach out to our destiny.

it’s silly to be serious,
but let’s get serious about being silly.
let us explore the world without prejudice
let us roll around and jump around
exploring the world as it is.
let us find happiness in our story
and rejoice in small delights
one by one, it will make the world brighter.

life is short, in retrospect.
everything changes too,
contrary to expectations & wishes.
as people and places ebbs and webs,
sensing when is the time to let go
and when is the time to get a grip
is a serene balance.
may there be a courage to move forward
with faith in heart
hopefully leading to a peaceful night.

if you are feeling time is jumping ahead
if you feel snapshots of memories blurring
if you feel frozen as your muscles burn,
perhaps you’ve reached closer to your limit
steeped in your dark coffee
if you’ve realized it,
it’s time to pull the lever
and turn off the lights.
sweet dreams.

without the fear of losing,
without the doubts of our abilities
let us walk forward into the future promises
without enslavement to greed
we will bec okay.
believe in the inobservable.
it will rise to the occasion.

warmth was shared
when it was expected the least
surprisingly, there’s softness
where only harsh words existed
what is it, that these people find
to bring forth such kindness?
it is a curious phenomenon
I hope to replicate

I laughed, because it was so sad;
I don’t know how else to deal with it.
bone-crashing depression is an oxymoron
but it hurts real bad, so you laugh to lift it up
it’s truly funny sometimes, how the life goes.
I am just grateful I can laugh with people I love.
I am humbled by their openness to accept my jokes.
that’s where I find the courage
to look forward to the future unknown.

although I know rock falls from above
and scissors pierce through a clothing,
i learned one thing
that life cannot be bound by iron shackles.
may you find a window to your soul
through an eye contact,
a memo of stranger,
or a prayer.

human body is limited by its own speed
but human mind transcends its limits
an hour of waiting can pass like eons,
yet hours of problem solving feels like a second
faster we run, broader we leap
beyond the limits of the physics
we glimpse at hidden veils of new paradigm
while our body can still hold on.
let us go on then
to the path we all must take.
