Back Again

To rise again,
To be able to start a new again,
To end the glamor with fun and dignity.

I especially remember this song back again.
Just for you.

Seasons in the Sun by Westlife (not original version)

Songwriters: JACQUES BREL, ROD MCKUEN

Goodbye to you my trusted friend
We ve known each other since we
Were nine or ten
Together we've climbed hills and trees
Learned of love and abc s
Skinned our hearts and Skinned our knees

Goodbye my friend it's hard to die
When all the birds are singing
In the sky
Now that spring is in the air
Pretty girls are everywhere
Think of me and I ll be there

We had joy we had fun we had
Seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were
Just seasons out of time

Goodbye papa please pray for me
I was the black sheep of the family
You tried to teach me right from wrong
Too much wine and too much song
Wonder how I got along

Goodbye papa it s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in the sky
Now that the spring is in the air
Little children everywhere
When you see them I ll be there

We had joy we had fun we had
Seasons in the sun
But the wine and the songs like the
Seasons have all gone

We had joy we had fun we had
Seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like
The seasons have all gone

Goodbye Michelle my little one
You gave me love and helped
Me find the sun
And every time that I was down
You would always come around
And get my feet back on The ground

Goodbye Michelle it s hard to die
When all the birds are singing in
The sky
Now that the spring is in the air
With the flowers everywhere
I wish that we could both be there

We had joy we had fun we had
Seasons in the sun
But the hills that we climbed were
Just seasons out of time
We had joy we had fun we had
Seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the
Seasons have all gone
We had joy we had fun we had
Seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like
the Seasons have all gone
We had joy we had fun we had
Seasons in the sun
But the wine and the song like the
Seasons have all gone

Fear, Pain, Joy, and Hope

In a circle of life, people say what goes around comes around. Is that so? Which one is going around and which one is coming around? If we can just tell the difference ---

Fear of losing --- losing love, losing possession, losing everything that you have staked in life for --- that fear would be consuming. I wish all in despair to be free from fear.

Pain of regret --- disappointment, a sense of loss of direction, of loneliness, --- that pain would be unbearable. I wish all in suffering to be free from pain.

Joy of light --- embracing the happiness, a flight of glee, of mindfulness and freedom, --- that joy would be boundless. I wish all in need to achieve that joyfulness.

Hope of spectrum --- flourishing the life, a leap to the infinity, beyond the wildest imagination, -- that hope would be destiny. I wish all in dream to realize that possibilities of hope.

Disguise

Love
can come
in a way of disguise.

Love
can go
in a way of a new start.

Love
can stay
in a way of surprise.

Embrace, breathe, and smile;
The sun will shine,
When the disguise has fallen.

Thorn

Hardship makes us stronger.
One at a time --- stripping away the thorns.
I have cried in the rain
I have smiled in the sun and then
I have stayed silent in the snow.

A New Chapter

On the winding road, we do our turns.
At the cross road, we choose our ways.
Over the endless streams, we built bridges.
In this woodland life,
Sweet scent of wild flowers are everywhere;
in the soft breeze --- if one pays attention to it.
In this jungle of life,
Obstacles of thorns are everywhere;
on the way to reach for the beautiful flowers.
In this valley of life,
Natural resources are everywhere;
at the reach of our hands --- if one pursuit for it.

Uncertainty

Uncertainty?
Incompetent?
Self-doubt?

Life has funny ways
to show the reflections.
The spectrum of life kaleidoscope is ---
strange and complicated.

At times.

Emotions have humorous ways
to show the weakness.
The variables of love and commitment is ---
disillusion and deceitful.

At times.

Logical heart has precise ways
to show the indifference.
The outcome of expectation is ---
unwavering and painful.

At times.

Because I Miss you

For those
whom I miss dearly ---
while we are
approaching into August;
the end of summer,
to embrace
the Fall to come.

Lyrics: translation
Because I Miss You
by Jung YongHwa

Always the sky is exactly the same
And always the days are also the same;
The only thing that is different now is that
You are not here ---
I thought that I have letting you go,
Without anything left behind;

No! no! I still haven't been able to let you go,

Longing for you, I am longing for you,
Because I am longing for you ---
I call you, and calling you by myself everyday.

Missing you, I am missing you,
Because I am missing you ---
Now I just call out your name, like a habit,
Even today.

Day by day, I feel like I am dying,
So what could I do?

Love you, love you, --- I love you ---
Without even able to tell you these,
I have had to let you go like that.

Sorry, I am sorry ---
Can you hear me?
Could you be able to hear my late confession?

I love you.

Out in the Daze of the Haze

There I am
Looking through the bright window;
Window to the world,
The world that exist in the haze.

Here I am
Learning through the endless time;
Time as a fourth dimension,
The dimension that complete our life in the maze.

Where am I?
Wondering through my dreams;
Dream as a reality?
The reality that kept me in the daze.

by Wild Nothing

Lyrics to Golden Haze :

Wild heart surrender to me
What does it take to be like you?

Haven't seen you haven't seen anyone

It's Always You

Song of the day ---
that I would love to share.
Another significant milestone
in our love story.

Lyrics:

It's Always You
by Frank Sinatra

Whenever it's early twilight
I watch 'til a star breaks through
Funny, it's not a star I see
It's always you

Whenever I roam through roses
And lately I often do
Funny, it's not a rose I touch
It's always you

If a breeze, caresses me
It's really you strolling by
If I hear, a melody
It's merely the way you sigh

Wherever you're near me
You dare me to be untrue
Funny, each time I fall in love
It's always you

Dream

I don't know why I dreamed of you.
Back then, in time ---
Why can't I remember?
Why did I try not to recall my dream?
May be I didn't want to remember you.
Forgive me.

Elders used to say
One is not supposed to dream of
the other in a finely dressed up manner ---
Because if that is the case, the person in dream might be
suffering from the loss of blessing in health.
May Health cherish you.

I wish you are doing alright without any sickness.
The dream makes me reassure that you were thinking about me.
I hope that you are in the thoughts of the pleasant days;
And remembering the beautiful memories.
May you be happy.

Tug of War

Greed
the growing pain---
On the first attempt to fight;
Mine!!!
that was the Pride
Who wanted to fight the greed.
No matter;
the light of realization came much later ---
Nothing is better.

Grasping the Moments

--- is how I lived my life --- how I am living my life --- and how I want to grow old living my life --- grasping little moments coming by. If success is going to be measured by what you've wanted --- how you've tried --- and what you are having --- , the degree of success of life is boundless. In that sense, --- I am satisfy and content with my life.

Looking through the long glass window on the side of the crowded room --- I was carried into the thoughts and wonders. The sun is out today after much cloudy windy, and gloomy cold winter days in past week. Everything seems so alive in the brightness of the sun. The grasses look greener, the leaves left over from the Fall season looks brighter with orange, red, yellow, and brown hues. I can see one small tree with upright brown branches --- as if it is a tree of life.

If it is considered to be a tree of life, --- it is sad in the picture of my imagination because most of the branches are bare. Some colorful leaves are trying their hard clinging onto the small brown branches. The wind is still indifferently blowing in any direction causing the leaves fluttering in the wind --- reflecting the sunlight --- and the leaves even look so happy and luminous.

Are they trying to hold onto the branches?? Or are they being careless --- enjoying the time being??? --- The way the leaves turn and flutter in the wind in so many directions ---- reminds me of parallelism of how different individual life events can be --- no matter which one family you grow up from --- no matter how one school we were in studied together --- no matter which career we get into ---each and everyone of our lives could be so different in so many ways ---

Life is amazing and it is very worthwhile to be living --- no matter how tough it is --- no matter how boring it is ---. Life itself has so many wonderful treats --- surprises --- and the best part is that we never know what or how it is going to be next. --- Actually, we live in the imaginations --- trials and errors --- correcting and progressing life.

As much as we are striving for the sets of goals --- as much as achieving those goals are more satisfying --- the times that we stood by and take some time to look around, look back, and looking forward to the future are fun and loving too. What can be more wonderful than just living the life --- grasping the little moments --- putting them together like pieces of puzzles to draw the most wonderful picture of an individual Life.

Smile In the Heart

Smile
Shinning over me
There you were
Under the shade of old oak tree
Sheltering the heat of summer.

Fairy Tale

Love was not at the first sight, rather more of a first shyness.
You were there --- in front of me
with a bouquet of pink roses tied with a bright pink ribbon.
It was awkard to look in your eyes.
I was shy and just smiling away.

Love was not the first touch, rather more of an understanding.
You were quiet --- by my side
with a pile of books all of which I would love to read to no end.
It was comfortable to be next to you.
I was content and just wondering my destiny.

Love was not the conquer all, rather more of acquiring bit by bit.
You were patient --- together with me
with a shinning armor over a white horse.
It was my fairy tale come true.
I was loved and all that I wanted to be.

On the Spur of the Moment

On the spur of the moment,
The sun sets --- the moon rises;
The baby cries coming out of mother's womb,
Some passes away to the unknown,
Preferably to the heaven while a few lost souls were wished to send to hell.
Some are believed to be reincarnated while a few believed to be picked up by the outer space.
There also are people who practice hard all their life to achieve to the nothingness;
while some believe there is nothing beyond life.

On the spur of the moment
Time passing by --- space is bounded;
The five senses are all human has to determine nature of things,
while some people are known to have the sixth sense.
Shut down all the senses and may be one will find the inner sixth sense,
which will lead one to see things boundlessly.
Power of the mind is larger than life to understand or to navigate.
There always is a chance and possibilities.

On the spur of the moment
Flowers bloom --- the leaves have fallen;
Time is a change seamlessly flowing in one direction.
If one can travel faster than time, will we find anything in the future?
How can one see the picture before it is drawn?
Unless things are tediously predetermined.
Determined by the creator?
On the spur of the moment, I wonder the nature and it's truth.

A Line to A Friend

Friend,
We had hanged out so often;
Drink tea, eat tomato salad,
Took buses together;
Walked in the rain, sun, or snow,
Exchanged our birthday gifts,
with lots of smile.
Shinning like jewels.

Friend,
We had fought so badly;
Beaten each other hard,
Turn our backs with pride;
We thought the world would end,
If one has to surrender first,
with power struggle.
Crying inside like rivers.

Friend,
We had parted our ways;
Time has carried us to the land,
Further than we ever imagine;
On sleepless and lonely days,
When the silver moon shines,
with a flutter of heart beat,
----(I think I am)
Dying to see your face.

Save me from Technology

It is ironic how time saving technology has converted us to zombies gluing ourselves to the screens of all sort. Technology has boomed since the Internet era --- every year we have new gadget to play around with. Technology suppose to save time and suppose to simplify our lives but people have abuse them in different ways.

Listening to the mp3s while the kids are watching DVD in the back seat of the car while GPS is intermittently announcing the direction to the destination, the cell phone rang --- some one has text messaged you a link to check newly hot viral video.

It made me laugh to see all the comments and opinions on the web, on the news sites, social sites --- facebooking, myspacing, twitting, googling, blogging, IMing, chat rooms, Utubing, Streaming ---instead of saving time and simplify lives, people are obsess with announcing their own life as self broadcasting stations --- with messages like "I am going to the restroom", "I am so bored now", "I hate all of you", or "I love you guys".

I must be the most self center of all, thinking --- please save my time, I don't want to know if you are going to a restroom or not because there are so many things going on in facebook and I need to keep up with that too. After all this craziness, I couldn't decide to cut the cord or pull the power cord. That is how I have become a loner, the Loneliest of all.

(p.s Please do not comment me about the 1 800 hot line sites because I need to save my time from unnecessary advertisements --- thank you.)

About Love

When someone talks about love --- love is as it is.

Love as an appreciation?
Love as a greed to take over?
Love as a crossed over from the margin of hatred?
Love as a blind sight?
Love as a poison?
Love as a submissively sacrificing?
Love as a mutual compromising?
Love as a kindness to lesser-in-need?
Love as a impulsively unstoppable bickering?
Love as a dreamy destiny?
Love as a support system?
Love as a giving it all?
Love as a without any reason?
Love as a tiny paces of compounding life affairs?
Love as an accident?
Love as a revenge?
Love as a steal?
Love as a satisfying thirst?
Love as a companionship?
Love as a forgiving?
Love as a plot and mystery?
Love as a comfort?
Love as an excitement?
Love as an easy way out/ opportunity?
Love as an understanding?
Love as a rebelling?
Love as an obsession?

Love can be so many things while it all adds up to just one Love.
Which one of them is a true love?
Any one of them can be true if it serves its purpose.
It is not about where it starts from or where its course has gone through;
It is about where it has ended as an ultimate Love.

Road to Recovery

I want to crawl out of this sadness.
I want to zip through this loneliness.
I want to get over this endless rain.

I am loosing friends --- one by one.
I am getting older --- year by year.
I am living a wonder --- second by second.

I am picking up the pieces of sorrow today.
So that I can forget the pains of yesterdays.
To live up to the promise of tomorrows.

I want to be
on the road to recovery.
Will I accompany me?

Painful Heart

I couldn't sleep the whole Friday night. I was sitting in front of TV news with the laptop on the side while being very very sick from cold and flu. It was just too painful to see the disaster. Japan is one of the model develop countries with fascinating culture and traditions. I have always envied their unity, pride, and work ethics. Not only the devastating earth quake, the destruction of the Tsunami, followed by nuclear threat, Japan is trying to withheld triple threat. Their government is trying their best saving the lives of people in need. They are most prepared, calm and enduring --- yet when nature shows their indifferent cold side, when nature shows how powerful it can impose on human creativity, my heart just become too painful.
