Amalia's Sea

the sea is beautiful
rocking
with foamy waves
storm and flightless
The sea was once
                      her airstrip

hiding the borders
sky's sea and earth
she loved

fly
clouds and waves,
through a snowstorm
like the animals running on the earth
fly
lightning and rain
making her a friend
don't rest
fly

on the Atlantic and Pacific
ocean,
in the aviation of life
with challenging experiences
She is alive
Look up the world she changed.

Sands and Pearl

the sands,
Depending on which you meet
Depending on how long you've been endure

remain as sand,
to become a pearl
It varies.

The Islands Are Not Lonely

now,
(my) collection of poems
library
on the bookshelf
coming out
in backpack bag
at the coffee shop
into back trouser pocket,
I'm going to meet you.

Greatful Heart and Now

i find in the library
my favorite books
by someone's donation
over a month
I got it for free and have been read it
"thanks"
"A cup of coffee?"
I want to say just one word
I want to ask the librarian
I guess they don't know
so searching for the name
online
she did a lot of things
now last month
through our village funeral home
She left this world
alone.

Strong Chains

: If you don't value yourself,
you will be jealous of others,
jealousy breeds suspicion,
suspicion breeds division,
division causes unnecessary fights
that disrespect others:

Power of Meekness

It is not
so weak so falls

It is not
so strong so tramples

It is to
go way with others.

Hometown

I thought
Home is a long way away
for everyone

No matter how we are closer,
we live in
birthplace.

Waiting

Where
does it comes from?

Magnolia flowers
between old-fashioned buildings
quiet street
a bench by the river
taxi passenger humming
                                      coming with?

Street corner
poor shop                 
door opening sound
Along the bicycle wheels
          the traffic light and signs
                                                  coming with?

No
spring doesn't come that way

Resting on the chest
looking at baby daughter
following the mother's gaze
it was already here.

Poetry and Peace

fishing port breathes
only
when there are fish

fish breathes
only
when water is

only
with poetry
the world breathes

Wish
have water grasses
if possible.

Passing By

Clean old parent home
has not been cleaned
over ten years

In those old days
built the house
put the wooden bridge
carrying the rice bale
on the shoulder
walked around the neighbor roads
now
even a small step
uneasy

Classify the garbage
making the money
the iron products
collect separately

See
through the gap in main door
white haired man
trying to take one or two
hand over
a battle of water
a piece of bread
give
saying thank you
doing it non-stop
gets out of the alleyway

It is going to rain
with the mind of concern
looked upon to the sky
only clouds flow

Among luxury cars
a shabby cart
passing by.
