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.
