Dreaming Children

Written as the 1,800th poem in the series, this work is a heartfelt message to children who will shape the future, and a quiet reminder of the responsibility entrusted to adults. Against vivid and expansive images—distant galaxies, shining constellations, and rainbow-colored skies—the poem celebrates the brightness in children’s eyes, their laughter, curiosity, innocence, and unrestrained freedom. Children appear as living embodiments of love and hope, bringing wonder to the world. In its closing lines, the poem becomes a powerful pledge: to create a society that does not stain their future, distort the truth, or cut short their lives. Fitting for this milestone poem, it is a warm and hopeful prayer for peace, sincerity, and the boundless potential of every child.


Dreaming Children

Beyond the reaches of the endless universe,
Constellations shine across the connected night sky.
Eyes sparkle like the clear skies of May.
Children who can lose themselves in wonder burn with life.

Across a sky dyed in rainbow colors,
Children’s smiles burst and leap with joy.
In the gaze that stands serene and resolute, tomorrow appears.
Their curiosity astonishes the world.

In their irresistible loveliness,
Even their wistful expressions are deeply moving.
They act freely, without hesitation or restraint.
Their exuberance illuminates the world.

Our hearts are captivated as they grow with open spirits.
We place our hands upon the softness of the hands they offer.
We feel this moment holding love and happiness.
Children, in their innocence, play freely in the world.

So that tomorrow for children will not be stained by adults,
Let us create a world where dreams can come true.
So that their tomorrow will not have truth distorted,
Let us create a world where adults can be trusted.
So that the lives of children will not be cut short tomorrow,
Let us create a world where you, too, offer your sincere heart.

Written on May 16, 2026. For the 1,800th poem, I entrusted my thoughts to a message for children.

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...
