A ROSE IN THE SAND

A Rose in the Sand
Find me, I’m right here
Hear my voice, please
Scintillating flash
trembling roar
Prayer for the day
swept away
Can’t put any words to this hell
What brought me here
I have to know
What brought me here
(Father, sister, mother, brother)
And she’s gone and, he’s gone, all alone in this darkness
Dispossessed, on the wrong side of the world
This isn’t the place it used to be
Not the home I used to know
Oh, find me here
I’m right here
Hear my voice and save me
Been waiting for you
I’m right here
Hold my hand and save me
When I nearly fainted, (I) felt the warmth in my hand
In the cold, driving rain
Rays of hope shimmered through shattered facades
All I could see was your face, beautiful face, full of mercy
Rose in the sand, blue rose of the desert
Slender sign of life reaching out
Right from here, right from debris, I found you
You’ll be my angel
I found you here, my angel
You’re a rose in the sand
I found you here, so different world set into motion
A new life has just begun

BREAD AND WATER

Bread and Water
They break through clouds (so to kill)
We toil on the ground (just to live)
Pitiful soldiers, heavily equipped conscripts
Prideful, threadbare, worn-out t-shirts, we put on
We chose to let it flow
And to let the rose grow
What can be the answer here
when the sky starts falling and tumbling?
Until we meet the great river
We’ll never stop moving, we hold on
Until the water turns this desert into green
We the people get strong as can be
Against what do we clash?
Salvage what for whose sake?
No time to fight
Both sides will lose by twilight
Can’t you see?
Needlessly we claw this field
dried up by insanity
Pridefully undergoing
A stormy sand
The sea of rage
We chose to let it flow
And to let the rose grow
What can be the answer here
when the sky starts falling and tumbling?
No weapon we choose but Bread and Water
To stop meaningless abuses
Rough rivers run as if it’s something to do
On this desert cracked
Under the cruel sun
Against what do we clash?
Salvage what for whose sake?
We, astray sheep on an ark on the sand of debris
Will watch the sophist being eaten up
By the desire to the end

AMBIGUOUS LOSS

Ambiguous Loss
Without warning
Bursting into my head
your memories etched in the sandstone
Since that day, I began to live a life that’s yours
As if I’ve ever known
for the one I’ve never known
Standing on this hill of the high-land
Swaying in this sirocco
Sensing your lips move
your tears and fears in your eyes grow
It takes me back to the sceneries of your days past
Countless pieces of memories
collide and slide by
In the midst of such a cruel world,
I have to wake and arise
Though history attends to us quietly
I have to go against the dazzling sky
I know there is no way to see you anymore
in front of my eyes
but I raise my sail high
Not too late to scream,
about your sorrow and your pain
Ambiguous loss
we must take, no matter how it aches
Since the day
when you fell down in the sand,
Reaching my hands up to your sky
Tracing your back with my stray fingers
Can’t ever let you go
Never let you go
Now I feel I can hear you saying,
“What would you do there and now?
and now?”

A DROP OF A GREAT RIVER

A Droplet of a Great River
“What you shouldn’t do now” is all you need to know
Now, don’t you hear the wind gust
Can’t you see the rose grow?
We move on along the flow
If you feel you can’t go on
Sorrow, animosity lying there inside
Proof that part of you still yearns to give
that part of you yet longs to live
Don’t dare ignore the pain, make it a purpose
You’ll find something further ahead of you
you will find more to go
Each of one us, a mere droplet of water
Reaching, to the sea, we converge, flow forth and surge
Crossing the border of the place
Each of one us, a mere droplet of water
Reaching, to the sea, we converge, flow forth and surge
Crossing the border of the sacred space
With the will to survive
With the courage to take the dark side
With the power to see the invisible other realm
(See by ears, hear by eyes)
With the lessons left for us, lo!
Promises left, their voices echo
Restlessly, crushingly, silently, the river must swell
Without a straggler set adrift, lost
Without one feigning not to notice
Let us feel like they did feel
Let us see like they did see
Let us hear the voice ever far beyond the sea
What would you do?
He’s always asking you
What would you do?
She’s always asking
What you shouldn’t do now
They’re always asking you
What you shouldn’t do now
That’s just the wisdom gifted us
Restlessly, crushingly, silently, the river must flow
Each droplet converges, flows forth all in tow
Let the river go to meet the ocean far beyond

White Moon and Black Sun
White moon and black sun
Tell us in metaphor
And let us find that rose in the sand
Mark the call of wind, sky, fire , and rain
The faith we can trust is underlain
Remember, my dears
What’s concealed around surrounds us forever
No matter what gets in our way
Always pressing through with your inner sense
Even if they knock down the apple from the tree
They’ll never close the eye of history
Let the story go on beyond mortality
Hold them in our hearts and hand them down
Pain and passion embedded in these stones
On this way we came
Never let THEM die in sorrows and in anger
We all grow up to find and
to see THEM through our hearts
Each reason, each of us
Momentous messages revealed from cloaked convenants
Call all, upon your perceptions, in the time of darkness
Catch the hidden missives left to us this way
What’s concealed is always surrounding us
Even if they knock down the apple from the tree
They’ll never close the eye of history
We’ve got reasons to be
White moon and black sun
Tell us in metaphor
And let us find that rose in the sand
Mark the call of wind, sky, fire, and rain
The faith we can trust is underlain
What’s concealed around surrounds us forever
Even if they knock the apple from the tree
They’ll never close the eye of the history
We’ve got a reason to be
