The peace and quiet we've been longing for, but
somehow it's lonesome. It felt like we're trapped,
locked in our own realms where no one could
save us but ourselves.

At night, I stared at the moon and the stars.
Something is missing but my mind wanders to
nothingness. In our existence, we seem to always
look for something or someone else--why?

What is it?
What is it that we crave for?

All this time
I was a coward in a run
Confusion is where it led me
It's a battle within myself
all along
It was I who neglected me

The silence of this afternoon
was rather heartwarming
that I can clearly word my thoughts
that I am untying the knots of
my tangled mess
that I was freeing myself from
my endured chaos

A feeling of sublime in solitude
I can no longer hear screams of
regrets, cries of sufferings
and grievance of the soul

As if my long emptiness
was filled, a tonic of calm
Living,
this is what it's like huh?
then once more!

Let me run,
let me feel the sun under my skin
Let me live out the harmony
in this unruliness
just once more-- with a smile
let me

-KJ
