Dear My Heart,
Because my heart felt so painful,
It was like walking with my head gone
Because my heart hurt,
It was like walking with my heart gone
I was walking without head and heart
Then I came to miss the things I used to love,
That my head remembers,
And the people who loves me,
That my heart remembers
I talked to my heart,
If you are okay,
Everything that I love
Would come back
Don’t get hurt
Please don’t get hurt
Already, Spring is in Your Heart
That already has bloomed, Spring
Spring
It had been there
In your heart,
Before your existence,
For your presence
Dreams the Spring
What Spring saw was
A beautiful moment,
The loving moment
When neither question nor answer
is needed,
When nothing need to be done
Let us water the Spring
Not to dry,
But to be in a fuller bloom
Spring is already in your heart
A Poem for Love
You may not know
How beautiful You and I are
How blue today’s sky is,
How warmly the horizon of the sea stands,
How long the refreshing breeze stays around you,
Everything around you exists for your being
A tear flows when we ended up being broken away
While staring at the unreachable point,
When nothing can fill our empty hearts,
When we breath out a cold cry in silence,
When the only thing we can see is
Stars in the sky after everything is gone
At night when we can finally embrace
“ourselves” becoming complete,
After going through agonies prepared
For you and me.
Let us see whatever deserves to be seen
Let us learn all the measures to love each of us
Let us have everlasting eyes of beauty and love
Let us smile peacefully
Let us say that nothing is lacking
Let us appreciate everything we have
Let us live as a human being
Who shines in the darkness
Let us look for love,
While letting go of things we have been pursuing for
Let us love,
Love
Smile of Your Earth
I have filled up your withering earth with my tears
The reason why I cry
Is not because of my sorrow
Let me just cry for you who keeps drying,
I do not want to cry for myself
A tear I shed shall not be used
Only for myself
When my tears,
With all of my heart,
Fill you up,
I want to walk with you in the woods
A Flower Blooms from A Breath
Do you know that a flower blooms from a breath
Even in your anxious moan that sharpens your heart,
The breath needs to maintain itself steady
For that flower
I,
Would like to have a breath
That is as clear as fresh water
That is as refreshing as a breeze
That is as blue as autumn sky
That is as innocent as a child's smile
Would like to have a humble breath
That is just right enough for my destiny
Would like to have a breath
That humbly takes what is given
Would like to breathe
to love
Rather than to live
Would like to breathe
to appreciate
For painful dark valleys that I have been through
Would like to breathe
to know
The purpose of my life
Would like to have a breathe
to bloom a flower
From seemingly endless sadness and loneliness
May there be more blooming beautiful flowers
See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. (Isaiah 60:2)
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12)
