stopped by the photo studio
photographer's face
so beautiful
I couldn't help but smile
and then
he said
“no expression”
a few seconds
“Photo, good.”
camera didn't notice
my (non-)expression.

So light comes from
darkness,
enters darkness,
and does not exist
without darkness.

For light is love.

Be
surrounded by
mountains
lighthouse
stands the same place
starlight
waves
seagull family
pebbles
wet moss
low forest
stairs
sunrise and sunset
a cliff
a winding path
fish
old small ship
a lighthouse keeper
are moving
a true friend
navigator
not visible
good luck
when seen
the best luck
the light of lighthouse
different from the city lights
joy of sharing
with all beings
in the fear and loneliness of the wreck
after the storm
See.

By force
going out to meet
is dependant on the time and distance
it takes five hours.......going out to meet
it takes five minutes.......not
it takes 100 miles......going out to meet
it takes 1 mile.......not
for time is money

Be agreeable
going out to meet
is not dependant on the time and distance
it takes 500 hours.......going out to meet and to wait
it takes a minute.......            "
it takes 1000 miles....... as above
it takes 0.1 mile.......            "
for time is love

Love has been ruling
time and distance:
the rubber band of love--
both ends of love

Then,
going out to meet is
the fraternal twins of
seeing off.

gone sides away

already gone

staying
that landscape
that person

And those roads,
My diamond sides
will never fade away
that have made up my minds,

Hairpin game
Uh-oh,
cool
cute
looked at friend's hair and said
// ( ͒_̉ ͒ ) ꒰⍨꒱ ツ ü ᐵ Ӫ ⛤ ✾ ✿ܓ ❀ ★彡 .͙·☽ ⚘༉ *•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙
should buy these
so cool and cute
for a long time
for a long time
holding a fairy
who has kept her neatness and peace
for so long:
leaf hairpins,
ribbon hairpins
that her mom made from torn fabric,
a thread pin from a poor honey,
butterfly pin,
And with them,
on the soft ground
kicking up dust
my first love
decorated our childhood.

abandoned by the bank
one branch of the Lucky Tree
brought home
and
divided it into three parts
and then
filled three glass jars with clean water
and stuck them one by one
One day
Two days
Three days
one week
A month later
as luck
at the very top
sprouted from the top
again
A few days passed and
I was surprised
the center of the stem was hollowed out
And then
little by little,
it was becoming a leaf.
after 30 years

holding and soothing

last summer,
the best for me
Terry gave 300 dollars as a birthday gift
The money left for him
It's only one dollars
still, his eyes are full of tears
for me from the heart
listening to music
I have been thrown away
after breaking down
It is not once or twice
(Autumn showers are dropping with a thick voice)
With this good thing
The music that gives comfort and peace
I listened hard. I listened so hard
In the end, it was broken
I tried several times
It was in vain
As before,
I tried to throw it away generously
this time, not music
Terry's voice and laughter came in
always believe and cheer
just never angry
over 10 years
I hear a message of friendship
I put it in the best place in my library
I'm waiting
from Ohio to this place
I'm waiting for coming again.
If
If
if you do only what you like
you don't keep what you like

if you do also what you dislike
you do keep what you like.
First, don't brag about yourself
Second, don't criticize enemy not looking

Your friends will be fewer
Also your enemy disappears.

There is a reason I love hill

It is not a forest
            a field
      in the grass

There is another reason I love hill

Hill, no direction.
      no height or base
      can lie down.

Really, there is a reason I love hills

Hills, Nostalgia
        There is a future
        There is bare feet

Where two meet, there is a Squiggly road
                                        there is a hug of healing.

I always suspected
Would he value me?
Even in his devotion
I doubted alone
Would he love me?
Even with his restraint and laughter
I always doubted
Inside and outside will be different
today,
I sent an email
to say "thank you"
Then came the reply
As always, sincerely
thank you from the bottom of my heart
as always,
I first met this word
Like in the old days
I tried to doubt
However, when
tonight, the word
I felt sincerely.
"Is a tree your friend?"
"yes"
"Then I will be a tree."
If there is a reason
It is not a doubt.

all dark,
cold,
and complicated problems
melt away
because
we are loved, and especially
we are loving
the ice-cold problems
that are solidified by it
it will melt and flow like water
wetting the fields of our lives
and giving us
a harvest of abundant fruit
to beat the winter.

putting sorrow to sleep,

fame,
fame,

Nothing...Everything
be prepared
like a thunder
not to impose
without success
lost
training
don't chase fame
don't chase fame

Discover the Hidden You
remind
Yourself of Your time
really,
are you going to do that?
are you sure?
I am sure
I am going to go your
hidden self.
Love prevents the conceit of knowledge
Knowledge sees the direction of love.

(quiet) wind and
                        dancing
                        leaves

sky and earth
between
the empty space of freedom
                      shows

      will the wind blow!

      time is scattered
      tickles                the earth

the hair(s) of the earth
grass, grasses, blade of grass
waving              and                beckoning.

Just as there are irregular verbs
in all grammar

there are irregular verbs

mother married
at the age of 19
lived for 70 years
father was a very strong
he took care of all the money
he dealt with bad people
he was a teacher and a farmer
for my mother
as the years passed
my father became unable to do
any work for himself
he asked her
to untie his hands and feet
to free
my mother didn't listen to my father's pleas
to stay with him
until the end.

Masterpieces are born by breaking the rules, and it's up to the reader, not the writer, to nurture them. Because the rules are not made by the writer, but by the reader. But breaking the rules doesn't mean you didn't follow them, it just means you don't need them.
my mom passed away
but I look at you
and I smile.

Don't try to show love
                     Make it feel

Love is not something you make
                    it is about revealing it

Watch the movie!

The tides of sensation starts
                                        after it is over.

they fought he fought the dictator of the time, who were more busy maintaining the status quo than those trying to defend and those trying to change. people loved the Romantic poet. In their love, there was always a passionate love that made them see the world and society right. they fight a world that doesn't admit different things than a society that doesn't admit wrongdoing. However, there are no romantic poets in this land, only renegade romantic poets abound. They make up to suit their tastes in the several kinds of poetry by the name of romance to hide it, and are satisfied that the world they see in the well is the universe. They look different, but they are all the same. Like pigs to be led to the slaughter, they grunt at their loves. You renegade, but still, my old friend, your political flattery and complacency are not romantic, you will find out when we are no longer friends. you have to be different If you are a snob like everyone else, then you are a renegade romantic. Oh, yes, You can't be a poet.

Old window, long used
whispers

scrapes my hearts

Curtains are not necessary

I can take it all off along
I can show it everything
I don't have to hide business

Wrapping me up, because.

water-soaked
beans,
made from crushed
comforting color,
comforting aroma,
you,
square and stable
who filled us with blessings
every morning
in the childhood
a handful tofu,
and the broken glass windows,
and through the cracks of broken wooden doors
You came out dancing from them
enveloped us
vapor of wisdom and the soul &
best food in prison
after release
the first thing they should eat
you, a Tofu
It is not a coincidence
like Raffle.

Go in a curve

clear,
it is obvious that they are in love

as they are rushing toward the sea
together

I can't see its waves anymore,
they are going away
again into the clouds.
