DREAMS

If you squint your eyes just enough, you should be able to see the dreams life laid before your eyes

 

Did you see them well? Maybe you needed to put some glasses on to visibly see what destiny brought to the table

 

And just like the happiness you once had running around on the playground as a small child, it disappears. Never to be seen again

 

Why didn't you grasp it when it was still there? Hug it tight, and never let it go no matter what?

 

Were you ever in tune with the beat life was drumming?

 

Or were you too arrogant and decided to stay in tune with your tone-deaf humming?

 

It's too late to figure it out. Just like the stars in the night sky, it continued shining

 

Yet you insisted to keep staring at it until the cloud caressed the stars like a soft blanket

 

Now your stars are gone, disappeared within the dusk

 

The dawn forms from dust, and yet you insist on picking up the pieces

 

Not already realizing they were shattered and unrepairable a long time ago

  • DAY FISHING

    Through this ocean wet.

    My voice, free to thrive.

    Sea fish within dive.

    Reach in, draw the net.

     

    There you are, at last…

    Tell me what you have seen…

    Tell me everything…

  • A TREE

    A tree

    A stationary tree

    The bark so righteous; its core so pure

    The leaves illuminate with the sunlight

    The roots befriend the live earth

    All as one, freely

     

    A human

    A cross human

  • MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN

    In the middle of the ocean I lie
    There is not a single cloud in the sky
    The sun beams down and browns my skin evenly
    Drying my skin like a towel, boiling my blood like tea;
