I like to see without my glasses
To see the world in a blur
But with newfound beauty

The clearness of things
Often take away their great shape
As the light becomes a halo
they shine, with a million miracles inside

When the world's detail fades
And the sound of light becomes clear

The world feels like a better place
When I see it without clarity

To see faces without their expression
To be loving without any protection

I am more loving
when I see without my glasses

When I see
without judgment

When I love
With all of my being...

To look into your eyes
and not be afraid to look away

That's why I see without my glasses
to see your beauty
entirely

Is hard to know someone
and be alive
To see others
without judgment
or criticize

Is hard to know someone
and be in love
To live with them inside
and sing with our being

Is hard to know someone
and make them understand
what you are here to do
what you are here to say

Maybe we just don't see
the love in each other's eyes
And maybe we just don't feel
the time between us passing by
Maybe we both agreed to love
but realized we are already love

Hope
of a life
with you
but fails
to say
without
the rain
over our head

Is hard to know someone
and not give up your life
Not seeing life together
and broken without silence

The idea of us
will fade away
like how we used to know each other
deeply we heard
the life we lived
We sing and said
It was hard to know you
But I love you still
With my broken heart

Emptiness
Lives in nothingness
Yet it has the imagination
To become anything

It can expand infinitely
Into all directions
It can exist eternity
Without losing a breath

It wants to know itself
So it even started to be

Sometimes it understands
The pain and suffering of existing
Sometimes it laughs at itself
For believing in the dream it created

It may have all the colors
And maybe it knows more
than what you and I can comprehend
But deep down it knows
The existence of all and nothing
The happiest and saddest moments
of our lives and times

What is here
is emptiness
And what will be
is also emptiness
You can say it is not bound by time
or it was the one created time in the first place

So perhaps
We are empty
Because we are emptiness
And searching for love
To feel the emptiness more deeply

However
The emptiness knows
That even the sweetest love can have pain
And in the greatest pain there is love
So it just gives up
And become a song full of existence
As we danced to our death
It laughed
And started, the next dream

I can see in the dark
After some minutes of silence
What was pitch black
Is filled with silhouettes

It happens often
When we enter the dark
At first we can’t see
But slowly we are used to it

To see clearly
We must not scream in fear
Or pain

To be
And surrender
To the darkness
That is
Then we can see
Even in the dark
For we know
That our eyes are nothing
But a mirror
Of what we perceive
And what we are

I can see in the dark
Can you?

I am writing this now
To feel you
And the love between us

Though we have never met
I know you are thinking of me
And I think of you too
Thinking of all the small moments we are going to have
A nap in the quiet summer garden
A dinner at home with wines and bottles
A song that we share to remember our dreams
And a coffee in the morning to just be
With each other
We love so deeply
To see the future
And live it now

I can feel you
Like a ball of love
Dying to come into my life
And live with love

Maybe I am crazy
And maybe you don’t exist
But it doesn’t matter
Because I know
Our love is stronger than that

Across space and time
We have kissed and hugged
Before meeting in this life
We have shared so many others
We grabbed onto each other
And moved so close
That we became one

Maybe we laughed
And thought it would be funny
To not know each other again
To forget each other
And fall in love again

To the girl I will one day meet
I know you and I are meant to be
And I can’t wait to love you
As I love me
More deeply

In time
I shall wait
And be
With you

Life is a bubble
it is fragile
but beautiful
With rainbows and colors
looping in time

It can break and pop

It can fly and grow

It lives in an instant
Reflecting life
inside the light

It moves up the sky
To touch the sun and the cloud

But dies
without reaching
the dream of a lifetime

Perhaps in the next life
It will take the sky
without breaking its beauty
or life

Growing larger and larger

Until we are inside

And we hear
the music of life
With rainbows and colors

Knowing that
the bubble
will soon pop
and we
will soon
pass

Hoping the next bubble
is just as beautiful

A leafless tree
Standing bare and still
In the cold wind
Watching life pass through

It is cold
or sad
Its branch
Waving like the streams
With every body exposed
under the sky

A leafless tree
Might be naked and free
Over our head
without the rain

And as music play
And people stay

The tree
is overjoyed
to be

What does a leadless tree feel?

To exist
without cloth or warmth

To be naked
as other parties

To brach out
and be seen
to every
creaks and turns

To be known
So bare
To live
So still

But maybe there is beauty

to live as a leafless tree

to let the sun and the moon
touch you without worry or suffering

To let go
and be seen
naked to the bone
and be still
be happy

To listen and watch
as life pass by
as love surrounds you

and be
a leafless tree
in a dream
of nothing but love
