~Direction~

Escape from the black cloud

that surrounds you.
Then you will see your own light

as radiant as the full moon. ''Rumi''

until

that full moon,

now

taking charge

no cares given

The way

we carry

Helpless

memories

I’ve always

done everything

the right way

You better

know it,
resiliency
Such a

Pretty sound

Bell echos

Traces of

Lavender

Cutting it

Fine

Resolve

like no other,

It will be a cold

day in hell

before I let you

see me

struggling

It’s like trying

to spin

the world

the other way
There’s a loss

what there was

and a loss

of what

there wasn’t

I’m just

kidding you,

a little bit

of levity

to ease

the pain

The search

it’s so maddening.

It needs one

of those decoders

you find

at the bottom

of cereal boxes

The uncertainty

of those kinds

of questions

are terrifying

Sometimes it

takes dying to

Realize

you want to live

You have

to let go

of everything,

find the flow

the rhythm.

It’s like music,

another day,

another dollar

You have

to feel pain

before you

can let it go

Maybe i should

drop you

at the door

leave

vanish at

the shore

anywhere

but here

you know

Follow

the lights

over the bridge

to the river
In this round

you make

your own destiny

sashay by

Speak your name

like a prophecy

while the moon holds me tight
I’m not weird,

I’m limited edition

not fragile

like a flower,

fragile like a bomb
the tables

have turned,

I don't need

to know what

fire is to know

it burns

as much as I try

to clarify,

I'm stuck between

being awake

tired at the same time  

my heart

cozy red

memory

of our

sacred so and so, i

t’s sadly sweet

Waking up high

feeling suspended
I can hear it now

like i heard it then,

I don’t blame

you

we got

carried away,

I can’t hold

onto an

empty space

My end
It justifies

my means
My every

Attempt

to evade
The end

Smile

Shatter

my

Illusions

Enough

of tea

and sympathy

Fire and ice

beneath my skin

Keep your dirty

laundry

you left me

shimmering

Sandman

Eagle in the eye

Of a hurricane that's abandoned
We have the vision now

let’s have

some fun

we’re fated

to pretend
You’re my

satellite

riding with me tonight

Absence

is to love

what wind is

to fire,

it extinguishes

the small

inflames the great

Who wishes

the fight must

first count

the cost

You always

told me

This Hong Kong

saying

Sometimes

the waves

of change

Happen

Change

Our story

Charge the

direction

Whoever heard

of a mean flower?
It's good to leave

each day behind

like flowing water,

free of sadness.

Today new seeds

are growing. '
Present opportunities

should never be neglected,

they rarely

visit us twice
