Though I knew I had to let it slip away,
The small shard of glass burrowed into my heart.
It lost its way out and scratched me from within
When it finally dulled,
The shard only sank deeper—
Sprouting red thorns around itself.
Neither I nor the shard
Knew what to do.
So yes, this is how we live together.

Are we running away from
the doubts seeping through?
Are we turning our heads away,
refusing to meet the stinging gaze?
Are we letting
the sorrowful voice of wonder
drift away into the wind?
We must keep dismantling the Truth.

Why is it,
The water clumps break down
Ambiguous boundaries—
Between you and me.
Delicately pick yourself apart.
Don’t you see the pieces of me?
Carefully rubble through
The jumbled mess of yourself.
Don’t you see the paint of me?
You and I—
Am I you,
Are you me,
Perhaps we may never recognize it
For our whole lives—
But hold the gift
The sky sends down.
Take one step forward,
And at last, we shall become us.

When I see myself
drawn by the sea,
I gently take out the star
planted deep within my heart.
Floating between silence and peace,
I close my eyes for a moment—
in the arms of tender waves.
Before I know it,
I'm following the lights,
gliding somewhere through my life.
When I see myself
drawn by the sea,
I gently take out the star
planted deep within my heart.
Floating between silence and peace,
I close my eyes for a moment—
in the arms of tender waves.
Before I know it,
I'm following the lights,
gliding somewhere through my life.

Deep breath,
Lock your eyes on the face before you.
Drink in that shimmering moment all the way.
Let life shower down onto you.
Swing your arms wide open,
Hug that vividness tight.
That’s Life.

Thank you for reading.

Lock your eyes on the face before you.
Drink in that shimmering moment all the way.
Let life shower down onto you.
Swing your arms wide open,
Hug that vividness tight.
That’s Life.
When you raise your head,
The purple shines on your face and says,
“Don’t forget that you, too, are sky,”
Then slowly drifts away
