What is the point of being alive
if you don’t at least try
to do something remarkable?

White sheet covers the forest
Not a sound is heard

Be still and listen
There are secrets in silence
Illumination will come.
Oh my soul, breathe calm
with solitude comes guidance
tranquil as praying mantis.

“It’s time I feel the moonlight and know
that in this moment, I am whole on my own.”
I see the full moon shining through the mist tonight. I see how it lights up the night like the air itself is a beacon. And I wonder if you see the same thing. Hope. I wonder if you can feel the charge infusing within my spirit. Empowerment. I wonder if you even care. But I already know the answer. It’s okay that you don’t. You were only meant to be temporary in this life of mine. You were meant to be a lesson, not an epic lifetime tale. I’m okay with that. Because this is the last time I will wonder about you. I’ve spent enough time comparing so much beauty to you. It’s time I feel the moonlight and know that in this moment, I am whole on my own.

When the heart is fearless
When the eyes glow
thinking about the possibilities
but never fret
over the consequences or outcome
when the apprehension appear trivially
when worrying about future
never bothers one’s mind
then magic happen,
for then the mind stays clear
from unwanted perturbations
and the only thing that matter
is enjoying the journey
one step at at time
