I write,
not because
I’m into literature
I write,
because I want to
connect with people
I write,
not because
I simply enjoy writing
I write,
because I want to
heal wounded souls
I write,

I’m into literature
I write,

connect with people

I write,
because I want to
heal wounded souls
Right beside my heart, I finally found you
Sitting there for all time
Now I can talk to you in my heart
Whenever no one’s around
Now I can share with you
Whatever I find beautiful here on earth
Now I can feel us together
Wherever I go, when I need you
On a vast sand dune
With a perfect wind blowing
Like back in the old days
Trying to fly a kite up in the air
First try… it fell
Second try… it fell again
Third try… it went up for a while but dived into the sand
Fourth, fifth, sixth… endless trials
5:50 a.m. – Couples, families, friends
Sitting on the sand, quietly, looking out the ocean
Tides making soothing sounds
Take us to another level of consciousness
Under my feet, the heatless, solid sand
Leads to the tidy water
The water reaches up to a sharp, uninterrupted horizon
Above that, soft, indefinite shapes of clouds hovering
Gibran said, joy and sorrow are inseparable
When you are in sorrow, its counterpart, joy, is sitting aside hiding
For you to experience
When you are in joy, vice versa
The sorrow that a Highly Sensitive Person goes through
Can be fifty times more intense, severe, and unbearable
Among 7.9 billion people on the planet,
How many can you get to know of, in your lifetime?
How many can you be inspired by?
How many can you meet in person?
How many can you become friends with?
From you, I learned how to be strong
Not to be affected by others, not to lose myself
No matter what they say
You are you – no need to yield or surrender
Through you, I found my weakness
Vulnerability that needs to be dissolved
Emerged in a shape of pitch-black shadow
By exposed to your bright, shining belief
Are you from a city or country-side?
Are you from a wealth or a poor?
Are you from a largely connected family or a nuclear family?
Are you from a highly religious family or non-religious family?
Wrote a script. Short one. For a play.
It was fun. Delved into my own fantasy world.
Time flew like an arrow. Polishing work was joyously endless.
I’d be still editing. If there were no due to meet.
What is this feeling?
So complicated
It’s not a single emotion
Confusing and unexplainable
It’s like a mosaic, numerous feelings
Blending in creating something new
Something that wasn’t there before
Am I expanding? Transforming? Ascending?
Moving up, down, backward, or forward
On the loops of Mandala
