As I sat there all alone
On my squeaky chair,
The sound of thunder
The sound of Waves
Water lapping my feet
In the midst of sea I sat,
Thinking was I already
          Dead ?

I have a dream,
It's quite unreal
I want to fly
Is that impossible?
Well we can try to
See if it works ,
I opened my umbrella ,
Oh ...I'm flying wohooo

What if the question
is older than the answer?
What if time forgets
why it moves,
and the stars
no longer know their names?
What if we speak,
but it is the silence between words
that holds the weight.
The road bends
not to mislead,
but to remind us:
truth is never linear.
A seed does not know
it is a tree.
The stone does not dream
of flight
yet both contain the sky.
I do not search
for meaning,
only the place
where meaning once slept.

Forgive me...

That's me what I'm now, my life is certain.
You'll call me, and I'll say: 'Hello, I'll call later.’
You'll answer: 'OK. I got it. No problem.'
And I'll left with a guilt that you're a waiter.

The time will trip forth, to feelings athwart.
And you'll await for my call all the same.
My answer to you is my heavy load now,
My refusal words and short tones after them...

And you'll await for my call until last,
Until your last profound sigh.
If I could turn all things around,
I'll call you back after a while...
Forgive me...
This poem is written in memory of my close friend. I'll never be able to say 'Hello' to him again... 😢
