Thirty-one grains of Sand and six Seashells
number the days and years we strolled
along Seal beach, our dreams were tolled on bells.
Semper Fidelis, now I hold.

The walk a march, my vigil on Water's edge.
A cold comfort is found in Word.
The march a sprint, vain dare to leap the ledge
to wretched guilt and dreams disturbed.

I miss my Loss, my consistency veil,
a shield from the chilly draft of dawn.
But Morning will come and He shall not fail,
For we must Paddleboat at the Pond.

We all must sleep and night is upon Him,
So all, in one voice, paying tribute. Sang -



*** In tribute to my brother Sang Kim

I don't know where to begin writing about this poem. Suffice to say it is deeply personal, and I think on the surface it is a very uneventful poem. I think it only really comes out once you know the attached story line. That I cannot get into right now, but I will either attach something later, or write a post about it. Suffice to say it affected me deeply and has changed the way I look at things.

guilty by design
shes nothing more than fiction
she dreams in digital
because its better than nothing
and now that control is gone
it seems unreal

I like your litte thing at the end. why do they say no jutsu if there is a jutsu. Where is that from? (I have a hunch)

I shall fear no evil, for You beside me
you rod and staff comfort me, and I shall spend all my days,
in the house of the Lord." - Abridged Version
