teeth

if i can feel the wind and hear it sing a song for me,
if i can walk, look up and see birds fly in V formation,
if i can look on a map and never get lost,
if i can see a familiar face and be happy and be glad for company,
if i can think and emit positive thoughts even if i feel that my heart outruns my mind,
even if i feel that all of my teeth are about to fall off,
even if hardships are certainly uncertain,
even if home is still a wide a gap between today and tomorrow,
even if my intentions are still milling,
even if my prayers are still hovering above the cosmic space yet to be manifested...
and, even if everything be lost...

i am grateful for today.

spring, i await...

cannot churn the words
for my thoughts to be expressed
am i high
am i low
am i progressing
or am i retrogessing

shall i tower over them
or win them over
these kids who holds the future
these kids with springy hair for a day
and an afro the next
these kids whom i have hope for
these kids whose eyes light up for sweets and treats
but are quick to lash in a sec

i thought love was key to holding them in
it ain't love
it ain't love
it ain't love
it's TOUGH love
