Skin 4

beneath the skin
we felt the same
rhythm and colors
glory of the world
yet above the skin
we forget to look
beneath the skin.
it’s okay.

a serendipitous ride:
everything is first time.
no chance for doubts.
no time for fear.
into the unknown, I go.

Perhaps it’s ephemeral whim that made white fluffy cherry blossoms so quintessentially

Beautiful

Perhaps its ephemeral whim has made one’s heart bleed as white petals rubs on skin like shreds of sand papers

Painfully

Perhaps all it takes to distinguish the two is to

Observe.

Obverse it as it is.

I glanced at my hands,

Skin is thicker than I remember,

Bones hardened with blows I endured more than I can bear.

Bittersweet wrinkles are the ones that stare back at me now.

Crimson sun rising beyond dark blue sky reminds me again: it ain’t over yet.

Perhaps I’d need to tear off this white shirt

Run with bear feet a thousand mile

And shout with wills of the thousands that passed out behind me

I am here!
