To the Children Who Weave Their Dreams

his poem is written for children who carry dreams within them,

and for those who wish to stand nearby as those dreams are woven.

It does not rush toward outcomes,

but lingers in gentleness, trust, and the quiet courage of growing up.

 

To the Children Who Weave Their Dreams

 

I want to wander in the dream worlds of children.

I want to lose myself

in the soft worlds they imagine.

I want to be wrapped

in worlds of kindness and rest.

 

Children who pursue unfulfilled dreams

overcome fragility,

becoming wanderers—

travelers on a journey of dreams.

 

They place a single drop of dream

upon the palm of their hand,

eyes shining as they gaze toward tomorrow.

Without fear, they fix their eyes ahead.

Dignified, wholesome, living fully in the present.

So that not one child

will abandon their dream,

I want to protect

the precious lives and hearts of children.

 

The joy of living

is but a fragment of a dream.

Leaping from a today unlike yesterday

toward a tomorrow unlike today.

Children who live trusting the world and others

weave joyful dreams.

Knowing at Sunset　(New Year’s Card, 2026)

his poem reflects on life as it is seen at sunset— not as an ending, but as a moment when past light, lingering warmth, and the promise of a new dawn quietly coexist. Knowing at sunset — the gradations of a life. Passion has not yet cooled; the days bathed in sunlight now lie distant. Life glows in the lingering afterlight. Melting into sunset — the strange encounters a life bestows. Benevolence remains precious still; with the sun at one ’ s back, shadows are cast. Life resounds in the hues of evening. Cherishing the beauty of sunset — the last story of a life. Embers have not yet burned out; in the stillness that reaches culmination, one is suffused by a new sun.

To Those Guided by Young Children

This poem listens to life as it is reflected in young children— their gaze, their silence, their small questions. Each moment asks something of us, quietly but unmistakably, calling not for sentiment, but for responsibility, care, and action. To Those Guided by Young Children To meet the gaze of a young child demands a sincerity that faces them head-on. In a young child’s tears, an anger that must not be indulged is questioned. In a young child’s smile, the meaning of selfless joy is questioned. In a young child’s gestures, the warmth of an embracing presence is questioned. In a young child’s fragile voice, our readiness to respond without delay is questioned. In a young child’s silence, the wisdom to sense the heart beyond words is questioned. In a young child’s small questions, our breadth of vision toward the world is questioned In the radiance of a young child’s life, our resolve to protect the present is questioned. The peace a young child seeks without cease mu...

A World of Right and Wrong

This poem examines a world where the line between right and wrong is deliberately blurred. By questioning language, justification, and power, it confronts the moral evasions that sustain domination and asks what happens when self-overcoming is refused.   A World of Right and Wrong   When facing a matter, we must examine our way of thinking. We must examine our use of words. We must examine our everyday conduct.   What is the basis that claims alignment with reason? What is the basis for asserting what is “ right ” ? What is the basis for believing one is doing good?   Is a slip of the tongue a lie meant to protect oneself? Is a mocking laugh arrogance that looks down on others? Is failure nothing more than shifting responsibility?   Self-serving values are proclaimed as legitimate. Self-centered ethics are boasted as humanitarian. Ego-driven morality is substituted for education.   One secures absolute c...
