I am so old, As old as the Eastern sea,

My second Home Daehan Min-guk...You are
so far away in years and miles.

I try and try to learn to speak my ancestor's
tongue. I fail to hear you say, please come to me!

Why can't I just travel to meet my home,
Of my past. Where I belong!

Why was I cursed to be born?
In the wrong place and time.

I am so old, As old as the Eastern sea,

My broken heart
Is stopping me from
Holding you in my arms,

From touching you
From kissing you.

I am so old, As old as the Eastern sea,

My Korea!

Should I just die,
and hope!
My next life will bring me back home,
Back into your arms where I belong,

I miss you so much!
I would rather be a poor farmer,
In the land of Dae Han Min-guk....
Then a lonely old man in
Living in this land far to the West...

I dream of you every night,
I love you Korea...

Should I just take a chance
of flying to my home of my past.

Will it be worth being buried
at Yanghwajin,

Just, to see,
the face of my Seoul?

I am so old, as old as the Eastern sea,
My love Korea...

What should I do?

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.

Ronald J Chapman Dec 2014
There will come a time,
When, days will grow old, like dying candles.
When, giant machines will die, with their last whine and grown.
When, cold rain will fall to wash away the dust from the past.

Where have all the people gone?

There will come a time,
When, forests and trees. Have overrun the rubble of ancient cities,
When, ghosts of the past will ask, “What have we done?”

Where have all the people gone?

There will come a time,
When, no one will hear the sound of wind blowing,
When, no one will see the sunrise again.

Where have all the people gone?

There will come a time,
When, a gigantic sailing ship, arrives from beyond the stars,
When, people will ask, “Is this our new home at last?”

In my dreams,
I see a girl in a white dress.

In the sunshine of the day I don't see her,
But I know she's here.

I feel her standing by my side,
Day and night.

I don't know her name, but
I never feel alone.

In my dreams,
I see a girl in a white dress.

She looks at me with a bright smile,
I do not understand her words when she speaks.

In my dreams I see a girl with Angel wings.

She takes my hand,

Now I understand,
God sent an Angel down,
From Heaven to protect me with her Angel wings.

I am peace and purity.

I am the sky,
I am the sun,
I am the moon,
I am the earth.

King Gojong proclaimed my birthday to be March 6, 1883.

I am spring,
I am summer,
I am autumn,
I am the winter.

I died in the year 1910
The winter of Japan.

I was born again on October 15, 1949.

I am the father,
I am the daughter,
I am the son,
I am a lonely mother.

I was torn in half in the year 1950.
So much pain so many tears I have seen.

I am some bad.
I am some good.

I've seen so many miracles and other amazing things.

It's all about balance!

I am beautiful, and I am loved.

Do you know my name?

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!

Beyond this moment, winter approaches.
Dawn is leaving us.
These cold days singing trees dance, listening to wind blow a flute!
Leaves begin to fall and sleep,

Birds wave bye,
Clouds cover the sky.

Everything seems just cold as can be.
I grab a cup of tea.
People are disgusted with the cold.
I wish they would stop with the kicking and screaming!

What I really want.
Is, to go to sleep.

Walking alone on snow covered mountain roads,
Everything is changing while clouds fly through a brilliant blue sky,
Slay riding down steep hills,
The sun is getting high,

In the blink of an eye;

An old cabin in the woods, with a warm fireplace burning,
Another blink of an eye,
Snow falling lightly on roads, Skiing down hills, Drinking wine while,
 Covered with a blanket in front of a warm fireplace with you,
Want to stay, never let you go.

You and I together on a bench in front of a frozen pond,
Covered in a blanket, Taking your hand, Is this heaven?
Fate continues to point me to my Destiney I see every night in my dreams. 
 You and I making memories,
Opening my eyes wide,  I see you're still here, Not a dream.

Our home with a warm fireplace burning,
Our children singing,
Snow falling lightly on mountain roads, Skiing down hills, 
Drinking wine while covered with a blanket in front of our fireplace,
Want to stay, not to go, I love you...

It's never enough to say hello,
I wish I was in your arms.

It's never enough to say goodbye,
I wish I was back in your arms,

It's never enough to say I love you,
I wish I had met you in another time.

I cry for you day and night,

It's never enough to dream of you,
I want my dreams to come true.

I wish I was in your dreams too,

My princess,
I wish I was your prince,

Why can't my
wishes ever come true?

I love you.

I want to love you,
Not just say the words,

I know I wasn't supposed to fall in love,
Or even care,

My heart misses you,
I miss you so much when you're away,
I miss your smile every day,

I imagine placing my hand on your heart,
To feel your hope and passion once again,

My love for you will last an eternity,
Miss you so much when you're away,

I have made the choice! to love you,
Not just say the words...

You are my first one.
Are you ready for some fun?
The beating of our hearts is as one.

Only you are in my life,
One day I hope you will be my wife,
For always and forever.
Me and you in love.

I wish there were words beyond the words of love. I could
Give to you. “I cherish you and every moment I'm with you."
You are the only one in this world for me.
My eyes "Adore" you. My
Heart idolizes your soul. I

Keep trying to think of words that mean “Love greater than love.”
It always comes back to your strength, patience, intelligence.
Safe to say, “You define the words “Love greater than love.”

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...

Ever since that June morning,
When our paths crossed,
Everything in my old life changed,

My mornings became happy again,
My days grew bright,
No longer sleeping the days away without dreams,

It was as if I was reborn,
And learning to crawl once again,

Learning to write words of love to you,
I spend my days through the seasons,
Writing love songs for a dream,

Through the seasons,
The cold of winter, words to warm your heart,
The scent of flowers and birds singing in the spring, words to make you smile,
The heat of summer, words to make you feel alive looking at the night sky,
The colorful leaves of autumn, words to help harvest your dreams.

East to west the sun travels,
Knowing you are dreaming under the stars half a world away.
Knowing when you wake up living your dreams,

I fall asleep and dream,
Of you and me together,
Under a moonlit sky dancing in the soft moonlight,
Makes me feel alive.

Vanishing from everyday life,
Walking an empty road,
A wraith is looking for the ghost he holds tight to his heart in his dreams.

Hearing ghosts from the past
Around the bend,
Haunting him walking along the road of life.

Dreams driving him insane,
Hello, where are you?
Let me see you.

All he sees is an empty road ahead with no love in site,
Writing love letters to a dream every day,
Letters tossed into a desk drawer of memories.

Vanishing from everyday life,
A wraith is walking an empty road, looking for his lost wife that walks with him in his dreams from a thousand years ago.

Feeling sad,

Because, I've been feeling lonely and tired
Of this world for so very long,

I've been dreaming of you too much,
I'm afraid I will never touch you,

When I think of you, I smile,
But it's a forced smile to fight the sad tears,

Being together with you,
Seems an impossible thing to do,

I should try to forget my dreams,
But I don't want to say this for sure,

I'm afraid I can not hold back my tears anymore,

I don't understand why fate has treated me so cruelly,

I think Fate has played a joke on me,
First introducing me to you,  
And now,
Sending me on a path, in a direction away from you.

The land where the living meets the dead.
Looking over the great river Han,
A dark place of missing,

Like a dream,
Sacrificing a thousand Lives.

Can you feel the magic of Hero's?
Resting in this place,

Shadows of stone stand tall,
Rising through the mists of a dark history,
Taller than the tallest buildings in Seoul,

Where the magic of life has ended,
In this dark place,  immortality lives on,

Where Faith, Strength Courage will always shine,
Shine brighter than a mother and child
watching their first sunrise,

A place the dead will guard us for eternity.

Spending all these years alone,
Many dawns have passed,
With only a cup of tea to love,

Sunny days have gone by, too fast,
Rainy days seem so very long,

Spending all these years alone,
Too many setting suns have gone past,

Things I remember;
Holding hands, walking along the lake, dancing until sunrise,
Reading stories to each other and laughing,
The smile that brightened my dawn every day...

Things I still love;
Your photograph, your blue eyes, your roses,
My memories of you.

You're always in my dreams to love, standing in front of me,
Asking me to come and see wondrous things,

Every sunrise we say goodnight,
Loneliness calls to me,

In my heart,
Your memories will always stay,
In my dreams,
I will see you again,

Spending all these years alone,
A lifetime has passed,
A lake of tears has fallen,

My life long friends do not understand,
Why is there still pain, after so many suns have past?

If you ever see True Love pass,
Then you would know.

You are the wonder of my life,
Out of a treasure trove of beautiful fantasies...
The only dream to come true,

Looking at a brilliant star,
Brighter than any sun in the sky,
Wishing to meet you always in dreams... after midnight,

The moment I closed my eyes,
You were always here traveling from thousands of miles away,
embracing me, a butterfly tickling my cheek,

Until we met on that,
amazing Yeouido spring day,
under cherry blossom trees,

I said hello to a beautiful Angel,
covered in pink cherry blossom snow,
My dream come true.

You
At sunrise,
Opening my morning eyes,

Turning to look around,
Seeing an empty room,
Where are you?

Seeing cloudy sunrise skies,
Hearing ocean waves,
Missing you,

No more rainbows,
Only shining dreams from my past,
That I try to hold onto,

I still pretend,
You're still here by writing love letters
Mailed to you in my dreams.

But memories fade away,
Like bright rainbows, after the rain,

Leaving me,
With only blue skies,
But no you.

You are my summer sunshine,
swimming, in your shining love, brightens my dreams,
warms my wintery Soul,

Chasing away my lonely cloudy days,
You are my longing dreams,
as my spirit floats to your warm heavenly embrace,

You are my wishful hopes in life,
my inspiration, for, living,
You are my love for each new day; a gift worth holding on tight,

Because of you,
I live my life
in the sunshine,

My love,
You are the happiest dream come true,
I thank God for you.

Beautiful as faith!
Beautiful as hope!
Beautiful as your parents helping God bring an angel into this world.

Beautiful as brother and sister playing.
Beautiful as hearing children laughing.

Beautiful as warm sunshine though a window,
On a cold winter's day.

Beautiful as a garden of colorful roses.
Beautiful as a rainbow.

Beautiful as cotton clouds floating in a blue sky.
Beautiful when you look up to heaven with a bright smile.
Beautiful as happiness.

Beautiful when you play piano song.
Your piano song is so beautiful it makes me cry.

You are beautiful as...

Too many miles between you and I,

Too many years separate our embrace,

I hate my fate,

Why out of all the possibilities,
Could I be born so far away from you?

So many miles,
So many years,

Away from your Soul and smile,

I feel like giving up myself
I let my second chance at love,
Pass me by,

I hate my fate,
I've been a fool, to wait! Too many years,
Before saying I love you,

But you don't have to worry,
I will always love you,

I have fallen in love with an impossible dream,
That will never come true,

I realize that I have waited too long,
Just because you are you,

I hate the path, fate has sent me on,
I realize you have countless loves, which travel with you every day.

When. They have left you,
I will always be here loving you,

I love you.

Lately, I found myself dreaming.
I've been dreaming about you a lot,
And up in my head, I'm your dream too,
But that's one thing you've already got.
You've got me!

You're Pure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning my head whenever I see you again,
Don't need make-up,
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is enough. You're beautiful,

Angel, you're halo lights up my world like nobody else,
The way that you walk through my life gets me overwhelmed,
I can't think of anything else,
But when I look at you lying alone in bed it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know,

Oh, oh,
You don't know you're pure,
If only you could see with my eyes, what I see laying in front of me,
I see an Angel dreaming before me,
You'd understand why I want to dream of you so desperately,
Right now I'm looking at you, and I can't believe,
You don't know my feelings for you,

Oh, oh,
You don't know you're pretty as a white rose after a warm spring rain,

Oh, oh,
That's what makes you a sparkling Soul,

I've tried playing it cool,
But when I'm looking at you,
I can only be blissful,
'Cause you make my heart feel love.

It seems like I'm constantly dreaming,
'Cause I can't compete with your dreams.

If your star should ever fall,
I'll be there for you, to catch your tears,
And chase away your fears,

If your star should ever fall,
I'll be there to lift you up;
With the magic of a wink and a smile,

If your star should ever fall,
I'll be there standing by your side,
Holding on to you so tight.

Whenever you need me for anything, tell me where and when,
I'll be there,

If you need me for anything,
Tell me what you want,

I will do whatever it takes,
To light your star on fire and place it back in the sky,
For all to see.
