2017

My dear Princess Deokman!
It's now 2017,

It's been more than 1,370 years,
Since my Spirit has set foot in Silla,

The place I was born,
The place I died, saving a life,
The place I want to return,

My memories of you have traveled through the centuries,
Your face reminds me of a witty Silla Queen,
With a smile as bright as the Dawn,
Together, we are like rice cakes and hot pepper sauce,

Oh darling Princess,
My kind-hearted Queen,
My witty young love,
The perfect companion to my Lonely Soul.

Sharon's Roses are red,
Skies are blue,
I like the waves of an Eastern sea,
But not as much as I love walking on the beach,
And singing with you!

Oh! Darling Princess,
Your hands are like beautiful cherry blossoms on a spring day,
You're the greatest Queen ever to walk Silla.

Your witty laughing face,
Your loving Soul,
Your beautiful hands,
I see you as a great Queen,

How could I look at another when your kindhearted love is so strong?

Even today,
After all, these centuries have passed,
I still love you my Princess Deokman!

I'd die for you again today.

Spring

I feel so warm and cozy sometimes,
When I think of you each night and day,
And when I see you, I see Sakura trees,
I LOVE you more than our unforgettable first kiss.

You're so high, as high as an autumn sky; I hope this love that's flying 
Through space and time.  Will hold on tight.  
I can't resist your kissable warm cherry lips; it's true!
Cherry ice cream and newborn babies fade into shadows...

I am absolutely crazy for you!

Your Soul is exciting; your Heart is Kindness never ending,
And my Heart is TRULY in your hands.
I could touch and hug you 'til my life here ends,
But YOU are the focus of my heart as you hold me in your arms,

This Sunshine happiness of your smile,
Raised my spirits so high my love,
And for you, Spring,
I thank God's Singing Angels from above.

What place is this, covered in glow?
Glowing brightly,
Bright as snowflakes sparkling on Sharon's rose,

What city is this?
Streets covered in white,
White as Diamonds falling in beams of moonlight,

What time is this, covered with Hope?
Hope as bright as a large river gaining strength,
Never giving up on its journey,
As it ebbs and flows with the tides of space and time,

What home is this?
A shining Seoul dazzling, in beams of sunlight,
Sounds of children singing,
Playing! In winter's first snow.

Holding on to you so tight, a dream,
Unable to part with love,
My sadness knows no end,

I gaze at the lonely road ahead,
All I can see is,
Walking the path of life without love,

My grief never ends,
Lonely winter winds blow cold,

A biting dream,
Dreaming of a home,
A hundred lifetimes ago,

Missing you,
Standing on southern shores,
Of a Miracle seven thousand miles away,

To when, will I hold you,
When will I touch your Earth, below my feet?

Missing Cherry Blossom Spring,
Four thousand years passed,

My spirit yearns for home,
Knowing of your accomplishments,

Your fighting worries my heart,

Always take care,
My awesome Korea,

As if you are walking on,
A pond of thin ice,

Then you will become United,  Once again,
Peace and love will grow for eternity...

Last night's dreams were hard to say goodbye,
I wish you would stay,
I can't help it,
Missing you and I playing,
You and I walking a path, covered with cherry blossoms,
Dreaming dreams of our future,

The quickest way to our dreams,
Is always to choose the most beautiful path in life,

Tonight you and I will play again,
Hearing your laughter,
Seeing your happy smile,

Saying goodbye, brings sadness,
I hate seeing tears in your eyes,

Tonight's dreams are hard for me to tell you goodbye,
Thousands of words written to you,
Float across time,

Seeing you living in a Miracle,
Love at first sight,
Destined to stand with you,

To embrace you,
You and I on the Southern shores of Joseon,
Hearing waves roar from an Eastern sea,

Dreaming,

Love is deeper than any ocean,
Love is stronger than any storm,

Loving you until the end of time, hand in hand,

Tonight's dream is hard,
To say goodbye...

Dreaming,

You and I on a park bench,
White clouds floating by in a high blue sky,
Magically turning into hearts, doves and puppy dogs,

Looking into a Universe of memories,

What's next my dream?
Heaven or earth?

Softly crying teardrops, filling an Eastern sea,
You're my everlasting love,

What's next my eternal love?
Sing to me, making memories of love,

My everlasting dream...

Love came too quickly,
With cotton clouds flying across a blue sky,

Love came warmly,
Laying on a carpeted floor,
With a fire burning in front of us,

Love came in silence,
With a touch,
A strong embrace,

Love came freely,
With no commitments,

Love came with tears,
Tears filling, wine glasses,

Love left,
With a kiss blown,
That could never reach my lips,

Love left too quickly,
With storm clouds,
Flying across, gray skies...



Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I write down these words,
Hoping they embrace you,

A dream of love,
Of magic words, to say I Love You,
I am proud to know you,

I'm very happy,
When I touch, you chest,
When I feel the beating,
Of your strong heart,

Feeling your Soul,
The air around us becomes hot!

Your gift of youth travels,
Through space and time,

You send me the sunshine, every day,
Even with heavy rains,

But, this is only a dream of love,
I wish I could embrace your Soul in life,

These years that separate us,
How painful and sorrowful they are,
Two Souls separated by years is a curse,

Even when my world is, sent back to loneliness,
I won't forget my memories of your beating heart,

I know someday,
We will meet, in a distant land and time,
Embracing our Souls,

I write these words to you,
My impossible love,
"My impossible girl."

I sing your praises to the world,

I will always dream, of your Soul singing,
And a free Spirit, which can never be caged...

You and I,
Traveling through endless time,
Holding on tight, to the keys of our hearts,

It seems only yesterday,
I made a vow,
To love an Angel in white,

I remember your smile, as bright as the sunshine,
When I can't sleep at night,
No matter how hard I try,

My tears won't stop,
I miss you so much,

I want to hold you today,
Because I love your beautiful memory,

After all these years,
My tears miss you so much,

Too many years have past by,
Since I held an Angel in white,
It's unfair,

Every night I dream of you,
My wife,
I will love you more than,
Anyone I meet in my life,

God parted me with you,
So very long ago,

My heart still longs for you,
I want to see you,
Before you vanish from my memories,

Waiting for you is pointless,
How can I be with you again my wife?

I feel like ending this lonely life,
Ending this pain,
Will only send me to another Hell!

Sending me away from you,
Where your love will disappear,

Suddenly I wake from a dream,
To face the day,
And the reality of life,

I need to hold on to your love,

The more I think of you,
The tears won't stop,

I will never forget you,
I love you more than life,

Eve! says stay strong,
The sunshine always comes,

Close your eyes,
I will always see you in white,
My everlasting love.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I have a feeling,
I will touch you soon,

On our first morning,
Spring light filters, though,
Rain of white and pink cherry blossoms,

Whispering in our dreams,
Last night was amazing,

You lying on my chest,
I kiss your lips,
Proving an Angel does exist,

It's true,
God sent an Angel to me to love,

Is this true love, I embrace today?

Quietly I dream,
I will touch you soon,

It's our destiny,
I will never let you go.

In this land of memories,
Moonlight shines,
Waves of shooting stars ripple across an Eastern sea,

Yet! What other words can describe such beauty?

The ocean plays a song,
Musical notes rushing past me,

Opening my heart,
Looking at the sea,
Remembering, yesterday's loneliness,

Waiting for you,
In beams of bright moonlight,

Seeing your reflection in the water covered in white,
Has taken away my memories of heartache.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved

Thank you, Heaven's Angels,
For guiding me to you.
Meeting you here on Earth,

My life shines every day,
With bright and beautiful sunshine,
Because of you,

Hand in hand, walking forward,
Through life,

Looking at our lives,
Discovering the mysteries of Earth and the Heavens,

Looking into each others eyes,
Finding gifts in our hearts,

How can I hold on to a free Spirit?
Your Soul deserves to fly, like a Dove,

I must let this dream go,

I know,
I'll find you in life,
If it takes a thousand lifetimes, our paths will cross again,

Hand in hand walking the path Fate has placed before us,
Holding on to our dreams,

Many possible endings,
Scattered by the tides of time,

You and I in Heaven and on Earth,
Protected by the Angels,

In life and death,
Love, Faith, and Hope will keep our, memories
Locked safely in our hearts,

We have to be brave,

Long ago promises were cut into rings of diamonds and gold,
Meeting you was preordained by Heaven's Angles,
Two beautiful Souls joined in Love,

Many possible Destinies scattered through space and time,
I always see a Destiney with you.

Suddenly! She appeared in front of me,
Not saying a word,

She silently looked at me,

She smiled,

Slowly she took hold of my hand,
She took away the silence of loneliness,
She took away the pain,

She whispers,
My love, there is nothing wrong,

She said;
The past doesn't matter anymore,
Let memories turn back into stardust,

As long as you're here for me to lean on,
As long as you hold on tight,
And dream happy dreams with me, when the sky turns dark at night,

There is never an ending;

Stars can not be perfect,
Unless the sky is dark, like a black velvet dress,

The past doesn't matter anymore,

Stay with me tonight,
Never again will I be afraid of the morning.

Standing in our past,
On the banks of the great river Daesu,

Watching cherry blossoms,
Crying in the Moonlight,

Waiting for the pink bloom,
Of Sunrise,

Very overwhelming!
Are, My thoughts of you;

Thoughts of moonlight shining brightly,
In your dark eyes,
Thoughts of wavy hair, blowing in a cool spring breeze,
Lips so sweet, like cherries,

Reflections from forever lovers,
Ripple beneath our feet,  
Flowing across time and space,

Tears of happiness fall,

As we stand here,
On the banks of the great river Daesu,
Holding on tightly,

Making wishes,
And seeing glimpses of eternity.

In the darkness,  before Dawn alone,

Standing high, Looking far to the East,
Seeing a night sky filled with stars,
Dreaming about you,

Looking into an immense blackness,
Dotted with cosmic explosions, like flickering candles,
In darkened windows,

A bright star appears like a torch placed on a windowsill,
As if put there, too,
Guide me out of the darkness of life,

Listening, I hear the easterly wind singing,
Follow the brightest light in the sky,
Come back home to me,

For at the end of this long journey,
Guided by starlight,

You will see an Angel with a bright Halo,
That shines brighter than any star,
That warms your Soul more than any candle,

With her divine voice,
She will lead you out of darkness into the light.

Autumn Leaves

Born far above ground,
Each leaf is a new dream,

Time to go for a ride,

Falling, flying,
From colorful trees,
Catching a ride with the wind,

Shala la la la la la!

Raining down, more colors than a rainbow;
Reds greens yellows tans, oranges, browns...

Sewing, many layers of a colorful quilt,
Quietly covering the sleeping grass,  

A soft, crunchy carpet for,
Dogs and kids to run through,

Autumn Leaves.

Four decades past,
God took my one and only wife,
Back home,

The only woman I will ever love,
Forty years of memories,
That could have been,

Memories that never were made,
Children never born,
Scorned God for many years,

Until that day,
Heaven's door opened to me,
On that August day,

When I saw my bride in front of me,
Telling me to look far to the East
You will see Angels' Sarah and Tiffany,
That will guide you to an Angel named Evelyne,

Listen to your Angels,
Never give up,
You are needed on Earth,

Your future is far to the East,
To a beautiful place,
An amazing place of beauty, music and respect,
A place you will love,

On your way back to Heaven and me.

Nights are always so quiet and cold,
Just before winter comes,

I miss the warm touch of the summer sun,

Perhaps our lives are about to change,

You are at the beginning of a new adventure,
Our promises can wait,

Eye's sparkling with tears,

Our memories of the past years,
We will keep locked safely in our hearts,

Quietly thinking,
What could have been?

What will be?
In this time, as your adventure begins,

Passing into the future,
Our voices become silent,

As thousands of ages pass;
Lonely,
Waiting,
Clouds passing slowly,

My Soul stands to guard you,
To keep you from falling,
Never parting,

'Til the day,
On a distant horizon,
My promises will be kept.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

One person,
One love,

A treasure to hold,
Shining! Brightly in the darkness,

Seeing the sky in your blue eyes,
Seeing the sunshine in your smile!

Feeling the warmth in your touch,
Feeling the beating of your heart,

Touching your Soul,
Makes my life whole,

I love you!

In the ground of time,
Buried lives past,

In the night the spirits sing,

Beneath a starry sky,
Lost lovers cry,

In the lonely shadows of night,
A cold wind blows,

Tears of lost love hurt,
Before me a woman sleeps,

In a dream she whispers,

Tears are a poet's release,
In every ocean of tears,
A new story of love begins.

The White Lotus,

Born from muddy, murky waters,
With its strength! Given from Heaven,
Never giving up,
Reaches for the Sky,

Heaven’s beauty,
A gift of white petals,

Floating in a world of cruelty,
Holding on to one's honor and purity,
Seems an impossible thing,

Never sinking,
One hundred days of rebirth,
Purity and resurrection,

Shows life's, potential,
After overcoming a world of muck.

On this bright and warm Sunday morning,
Our life together is about to begin,
It's been so long only being friends,

Look at us!
Two different people,

From different times,
From distant places,
From other worlds,

We have touched each other's hearts,
With distant words across time and space,

Now it's time,
To hold on to each other tight,

As our life together begins,
Our hearts open,
To let our love in,

Look at what we've done,
Only Fate knows the path our lives will take,

We have become more than friends,
We've discovered our true destiny,

Looking into each other's eyes,
We see our dreams coming true,
As our life in marriage begins.

Spent our first sunrise together at Busan’s Haeundae beach,
And peaceful nights and bright days with you,
Waking up to cherry blossoms in the springtime,
Can we stay for the rest of our lives?

The scent of Seoul cherry blossoms in the spring,
Childhood memories,
Dreams of another time and place,
Guided me back home to you and this place,

Walking along the beach in our bare feet,
Time goes by to fast,
Spring colors, new life begins, brighter days,

Wasn't it just yesterday when I met you?
With cherry blossoms falling in your hair.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Afraid this is only a beautiful dream,
I would give it all to you – I would sacrifice everything,
Just to go for a walk with you,
In early fall under a high blue sky,

Talking about our lives and dreams,
Holding hands,
Looking at you,
A bright and sparkling sunny smile,  

As we walk along the path,
You joke with me and make me laugh,
You listen to every word. I have to say,
You encourage me to do amazing things,

I want nothing more,
Waking up to the sunrise every morning with you,
To new beginnings, in my life with you,

Look into my heart – you will find,
There is nothing more for me but to love you,

Only dreams have left me in the morning,
You're here to stay.

On a warm June morning in the year of the dragon,

My heart was cold and lonely,
Something was missing in my life,

Viewing through a magic mirror to a distant land,
Can't you feel the warmth of my gaze?

I tried to turn away,
I couldn't fight your beautiful eyes and soul,
Your voice placed me under a magic spell,

Somewhere, I hear a voice speaking,
A bright new adventure is about to begin,

Gazing eye to eye,
I ask,
Why we live in different times,
And in distant lands?

Always and forever,
I will think of you,

Somewhere, I hear a voice speaking,
Don't give up!
A bright new adventure is about to begin.

In autumn,
When brown leaves fall,
Our love shines, like a bright harvest sunrise,

When October comes,
And trees turn, brown, orange, red and yellow,
Fields of green and yellow shining under cool blue skies,

Two people holding hands,
Running through fields of corn,

The smell of sweet pumpkins is floating in the breeze.

As cold orange sunsets come, and cool winds begin to blow,
When autumn leaves fall, our love keeps us warm.


Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

On that cold autumn night,
When the moon turned velvet red,
The stars flew across the night sky like Angels bringing hope,

Our shy hands took hold,
I remember feeling love for the first time,

Like magic,
The feelings of loneliness and pain vanished,

We fell into each other's arms,
Hugging and kissing,
Never wanting to let go,

Hoping this wasn't a dream.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Cold winter clouds parting,
Pink cherry blossoms blooming for a short time,
Then fall like happy tears,

Celebrating new life and new love,

Things come and go,
Only Fate knows what love will grow,
Will true love come and stay?

You and I have a destiny,
Once we were lonely,
Once there were tears,

Then comes a chance,
For no more lonely tears,

To become friends,
In the springtime of a new year.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Standing alone,
Looking at dark skies,
Cold rain falling on our lives,

Why doesn't our love bloom?
Shivering, wondering why,
Love is walking away in tears of rain,

Why I am unwilling to follow,
Two hearts tied so closely, at one time,
Two Souls that depended on each other say goodbye,

How can I find the courage to say,
The words to make you stay.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

The sun rising,
The sun setting,

When it rained,
When it snowed,

There were always good days when we said hello,
There were always sad days with goodbyes,

There have been many sunny days,
There have been many dark days,

Friends have come,
There are some friends. That have gone,

Lots of days with smiles when we laughed,
Many days of tears, When we said goodbye,

Memories I hold dear,
Lonely at times,

Missing true love,

In my heart,
There are always dreams of you,
Spending time with me in my life.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Bright Sun,
Morning breeze,

Two candles flickering,
Never fading in the wind,

Bright sun,
Lovely smile,

Sunny day filled with burning love,

Two candles burning brightly,
As the new day begins.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Unable to fall asleep, this stormy evening,
Watching the rain pouring out the door,
Listening to thunder rumbling,

Always dreaming,
Drunk on pity,

Trying to forget you,
Looking at an empty bed,
Remembering our days together,

How can I stop these tears of rain from falling?

Only memories,
Why can't I forget you?
Why can't you let me be free?

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

In the warm morning sun,
Sitting on a bench,
Watching ripples of sunshine in the pond,

Echoing thoughts,
From summer’s past,
In reflecting ripples,

Autumn leaves falling,
Autumn leaves floating on ripples,

Says cold days are coming soon,

Rose peddles have disappeared,
Shades of red, yellow, purple, orange, and blue, blanket the roads,

Says cold days are almost here,

Sitting on a bench alone,
Seeing only my reflection in the ripples,

Says that cold days are already here.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I've always known,
You were only a passing storm,
That leaves behind,
Nothing but tears of rain,

A cold Autumn breeze,
Says cold and lonely days are coming soon,

It's a shame,
But I miss catching your tears of rain,

Although you and I wanted to visit the stars,

I mourn the passing of the storm,
Yelling to the Heavens with thunder,
And sparks of lightning.


Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

It doesn't matter where you are.
It doesn't matter when you are.

Whenever you feel lonely, look to the sky!

Wherever you go, when your heart feels alone.
Think of that happy day.
When we flew home to stay.

Think of that day. We laughed watching kitty chasing, her tail.

If the clouds cover the sun, and the stars disappear.
You will know I'm still here.

I'll be standing in front of you. With arms open wide, to catch you.
To lift you up above the clouds in the sky!

Whenever you miss me, no matter where I am.
Know that! I always carry a part of you, locked safely inside my heart.

Whenever you call me,
I will always answer with love,

The sound of your voice,
Makes me love you more...

I will stand in front of you with open arms,
To catch your lonely tears,

To lift your Spirit higher than the moon and stars in the sky.


Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Waving, the Sun falls like a flickering light bulb,
Blue sky, yellows, reds, oranges and golden clouds,

Adventure is lightning among the stars,

Why does the sun fall as darkness rises?
Yellows born in the East like lightning in the West.

Sunny gold sleepy clouds are sending breezy sounds,
Viewing lightning bolts, hearing thunder,

I lost all colors but found the flashing stars,

Life falling asleep in the West,
Life waking in the East,

Feeling sleepy,

Good night!




Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

This night I shall dream of your glowing black hair,
The summer moon shining brightly in your tiger eyes.

Wrapped in echoes of your voice singing about a beautiful country,

I long to sip from your cherry-full lips.

In my dreams,
We fly on a long-winged white-tailed eagle in the blueness of an infinite sky,
Skimming over mountains and rivers.  

The depths of all the Eastern seas shall never separate our hearts.

Brilliant as singing rivers, the seas greet us from afar.

Young dragons were trying to catch magical orbs falling from Heaven.

In the twilight.
We feast on chocolate-coated candy kisses and sweet,
Tender kisses of love.

Adorned in flowing white silk robes,
Like Angels,
We pluck our magic Haegeum love chimes from our heart strings,

I press my hand into yours,

As our Souls melt into one.

You will always be part of my life my little tiger eyes,
My singing Soul of love.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

I feel that I am flying, though time and space.
Past the stars and planets in the heavens above.

When, I think of you every day and dream of you every night.
When I see you, I see galaxies in your eyes,
I can only think of, to say the three magic words, "I love you!"

You're so strong and brave! This love is Eternal!
I can't resist your bedroom eyes, it's true!
When I look at you,
The cherry blossoms and infinite stars fade into shadows...

I am quite in love with you!

Your Soul is exciting; your heart I will love forever,
You have captured my Soul with the words,”I love you!”

I will hold on to you forever and ever. 'til my life is done,
Be part of me until the end of time,

Let our Souls travel into heaven above,
Never letting go too, our hopes and dreams,

I love you!

On a certain day,

Looking East,
I See the sunrise,

Clouds, like beautiful ballerinas dance across the sky,
Wishing a happy day,

I hear dogs barking,
Roosters crowing,

Shower, hairspray
Afraid to look in the mirror,

Coffee bitters on my breath,
Toast and strawberry jam for breakfast,

Did I forget something?
Where did I put that phone?

Not enough time in the day,
Time flies like a jet plane,

Please, no traffic jam today,
I want to be alone,

Ok! Let's do this.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

White cotton clouds,
Blue, blue sky,
Over me,

What is this I see,
Two puppies playing,

There are several places,
Angels could be hiding,
They make themselves known,
While whistling in the wind,

But, in the depths of clouds,
There are storms brewing,

I'll just wait and see,

Thunder, as loud as dogs of Summer barking at me,

The air is thick and wet,
I've always wished I could fly away,
From the cold August rain.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

At first glance,
I saw only a girl dancing,
Her name was Tiffany,

But, If by accident, serendipity or by Fate's guidance,
I looked twice,

Your charm pulled me into this world far to the East,
Through song,

I have never had such a sense of passion and obsession,
That brought me into this world of miracles,

I've become obsessed with you,

This place of old and new,
This place of pain and happiness,
This place of beauty and respect,

Rising like the Phoenix out of the fires of war,
This remarkable place was re-born with youthful strength and song,

Noticing, over the years,
I have seen many wondrous things,
From this far off place to the East,
They call a miracle,

I've cried with your pain and smiled
With your joy!

Many times, I have wondered,
If your streets are only but a dream?

I look with my eyes,
I hear your voices and music with my ears,
But I truly see you in my dreams.


Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights

Have you ever loved someone so much?
She remains on your mind day and night,

Friends and family tell you to move on,
Come on it has nothing to do with youth and old age,

Your whole life!

You have been waiting;

Waiting, for dreams to come true,
Waiting every day for the sun to rise,

Seasons come and go,
You've stood alone,

Watching roses bloom, smiling at the sun,
Watching rose peddles fall, like slow tears,

Climbing mountains every day, So tiring,
Reaching for the stars in the sky,

Asking,
What is it like in heaven?

You were once in my world,
You were once in my life,

You were once the rock,
That kept me from falling,
From the mountain top.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Missing you,
Infinite tears to fill an Eastern sea,
Roll down my cheeks,

Fate, why have you done this to me?
You sent me on an imposable journey,

My last chance has come and gone,
One chance in a thousand,

Why am I still loving you?
I let love pass me by,
For a second time,

Giving up on myself,
I can not speak about this anymore,

It just hurts too much,
My heart aches because I think of you day and night,

But you don't have to worry,
I will pretend to smile,

As I dream of you every day and every night,
Chasing! The loneliness away.

Copyright © 2015 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Watching the sunrise in the East,
As it says goodnight to my dreams,
Rooster crows,
Cows mooing,

Light everywhere,

Cold shower,
Gets my heart racing, with the beat of rock song,

Breakfast;
Coffee bitters, and fresh cream,
Eating pancakes with strawberries, whipped cream, and syrup,

Clock hands moving by too fast,
In spite, I'm watching the sunrise in the East,

Dropping my crumbs on the floor,
One last sip of coffee,

Put dishes in sink,

Check smartphone for calls,

Grabbing my jacket and car keys,
Heading out the door,
To find out,
What the day has in store.

I worried all my dreams had ended,
Unable to sleep and dream for a long time,

Looking out the window,
At the Eastern sky,
And see the sunrise,

Trying to imagine life,
In ancient times and places,
Life was hard and unbearable at times,

Smiling I see the green hills from the past,
I see a vast ocean and hear sounds of ocean waves and seagulls,
Flying by fast,

Looking out the window,
At the Eastern sky,
And see the sunrise,

Trying to imagine,
My wife dressed in white, laughing,
You are standing in the Ocean's waves,

Waving, come swimming with me,

You bring a smile to my soul,
I chase after you,
I long to hold you in my arms once more,

For hope and love, I pray for more dreams,

I believe, my dream! You will come true,

You make me stronger!

Ah, life!

Rise calmly like a morning sky,

Life is a new morning,
Wave calmly like a clear moon, In the morning sky,
Misty dark fog grows like cold mountains in the distance,
The mist rises on a dark morning,

Never command the time,
On a morning's journey,
Life is a morning breeze,
Where is the bright sunshine?

Ah, endurance!
Walking to the West,
Viewing misty, warm trees.
Why does the mist endure?

Moon is floating!
Lonely Luna,
Wishing a good day,
Falling asleep, under the covers of the western sky.

Gray skies,
Thunder sounds, like a beating heart,
I hear your whispers in the wind,
As the rain falls like never ending tears,

Painfully cold, missing love,
Love has left me standing alone,

I'm afraid,
Love will not find her way back home,
Through the cold rain,

I have always been thinking,
How can two Souls in love be separated by a flood, caused by a rain of tears?

We once said, we would never say goodbye,

Hoping, when the skies clear,
You will return home from the East,
With the next sunrise.
