This One Place

This one place 
        I want to go there 
        once more.
        Only me and my body. 
        Letting the cold breeze 
        to watch  them,  my warm tears,
        becoming the fallen stars 
        dancing together with the
        shimmering waves.
       
 I'm not waiting for someone
        to take me there.
         How many steps will it take to reach 
         there, this one place?
         I want to go and stand there.
         I want to see my lonely footprints 
         that quietly follow me behind.
         Leaving  as a trace of memories  on the coarse sand 
         just to be stolen away 
         by the mischievous waves. 


 Looking up and looking down 
        blueness everywhere.
        A blueness to grasp the faded blue 
        running wild in my veins.
        Don't want to build a sand castle.
        To build a home 
        for myself 
        in me.
   
 Even the fierce sun 
         sets behind this one place 
         for a long nap 
         till the night breaks apart.
          I know I will fall again.
         if the mighty waves hit on me 
         But I'm not afraid even. 
         I can stand up again 
         from this fall with a smile.
         A pleasurable fall.
         
   Like everything ends there 
         no more road can be seen ahead,
         The tides crash all of it down.
         Don't have to think 
         which way to travel, 
         just walk along with the waves.
         Closing both eyes,
         listening to their lullabies, 
         I will be there.
         In this one place.
