History

as yellow sunlight hit the white building,
I sensed the world was a little softer
in spite of the self-important talk of passerby
I felt the world turning slower
but is this my world?
beyond what words can describe,
I can sense what feels to be true.
the moment I see, hear, and say the word
I am engulfed back into my world
one that I know to be true,
one that I yearn for all this time.
as I sail through uncharted territory
I stare at the stars, hopeful it will guide me.
hopeful that the truth lies beyond the horizon.

Word

for those who have exhausted everything
under the broad day light,
is there a word for them?
a word to describe
what they have seen,
what they have felt,
and what they have chosen to do?
to live each day,
with both eyes wide open,
bearing thousands of battle scars,
to remember all that have happened
it may be too much of a toll to be burdened with.
nevertheless, we stay awake,
to seek the truth,
to be responsible for our entity,
and to adhere to our belief and principles.
let both levity and gravity be in unity.
for this longest brevity.
