Someone once said,
“love is like cutting water with sword”
there is no blood,
there is no wounds
it is divided
soon
reunited
even if you stab it
even if you are stabbed
that's right
but love is changing

That is sad.

Hatred
made
a path
to meet
love.

The way we live each day
is not a job

Poets who think of writing poetry as a job
have no choice but to live a life unrelated to poetry.

I visited the son of an acquaintance who was hospitalized for mental illness. He is kind and intelligent, but his anger prevents him from functioning properly in society. I think he developed this illness after suffering from intense competition while working at *** in the United States. My wife and I went to talk with him, and he seemed much better. He waited for us to speak, responded, and even played arm wrestling with us. Meanwhile, next to us, a 60-year-old mother was visiting her 40-year-old daughter. The daughter was constantly shaking her legs, had almost no expression, and seemed listless, but she continued the conversation. However, the mother greeted us, introduced her daughter's name, and expressed pride in her. Despite her daughter's many shortcomings and problems, the mother cherished and took pride in her daughter, and I experienced a truly beautiful moment feeling the mother's maternal love.

Early in the morning
blocking out the sound of cars
carrying the sound of birdsong
on the leaves
snails
mind is busy
sharpen senses
open eyes wide
And walk down the road. without friction...
hurried steps lead to
that place
Irene's full moon water drops
dedication of the environmental beautification worker,
endure of slowness
the air's hair
cleaning the world's trash
moist and soft lotion
a snail's day today
an S-shaped nail  same
the filament inside the red light bulb.

It stands out from the other gates
It is a gate that is there but not there
a small gate
the most beautiful gate of all

It is a gate that does not require a key
It is a gate that all can open
It is a gate of love

A gate that sings as the wind passes by
A gate that sings as the moonlight passes by
A gate that makes everything sing
including the puppy
—the gate interwind with beings.

No matter how valuable it may be, do not express it as an ideology.
That does not mean you should become a decadent.
