Nostalgia

... looks like a mother reading a tale for her child.
... smells like the cookie eaten at the couch.
... tastes like the food that was made from my mother.
... sounds like the schoolbell ringing to tell "the class is over."
... feels like the mood before I fall asleep.

Smells like leaves coming out
Tastes like eating ripe strawberries
Looks like dandelions flying with the wind

Smells like a book that is new.
Tastes like peach candy that is really sweet.
Feels like seeing a mellow movie.

Sounds like the wind blowing quietly.

Musings of Will...

Musings of Ji Han Lee (Will) on Twitter

If I have wings, I will fly to the middle of desert and see all the stars and sand. After my soul become satisfied, I will tear my wings.

So I could say my actions and thoughts are limited by the language I use. I am a frog living in a small well of Korean language.

The blood that the boy shed was covered with snow and the moonlight takes away the odor. A cat who lost its loving one licks its wound. That is the image that the boy draw in his mind.

Does snow make a sound? Cuz in Korean words, it does have a sound. "sobok sobok"... I wonder what's it like.

I found a coin in my pocket but can't remember when I left one. But the coin must know the day he got left behind in the darkness all alone.

Poem - Seon Hwa

Cold is killing me
I was very painful
Rice was bitter, and I didn't want to eat
I went to hopital by bus with painful body
To make matters worse, it was raining
I wanted to swear at the sky
