Jean Lee's Poem for Dreaming of Sweetness in Life

    Waiting for the Rain

By Jean Lee


For all the lands that are parched to the root,

A gentle touch of sweet drops would perfectly suit.

To all the souls that are broken apart,

A quiet sound of savory drizzle would heal the heart.

I believe there will be a hint of blessing tomorrow.

So that withered petals of our hopes find their light even in sorrow.

 


Seeing through the blank look of your loved one someday,

You may shout inside ‘Are you with me?’ like you pray.

With the looming gap of miles and miles between each other’s mind,

The ailing soul is reaching out to you in silence so unkind.

It is your story, their stories ,…. and mine.

You don’t need to keep it a secret, and I’m fine.

 

Only if there’ll come a day we have the long lost rain,

All our tears won’t have been shed in vain.

Whisper three words into his or her ears in no time

Albeit it looks like they don’t even care a dime.

It could be this very moment

  that would last in our hearts, being so fragrant.

On the Day of the New Beginning of My Home Country

  Opening the Door to My Strong Home Country by Jean Jiyoung Lee June 3 rd 2025   Let your long-lost inner light shine Wake up and stay woke from dark torpor Prayers for those in pain are yours and mine Heart-wrenching memories will stay where they were It will be all right to find yourself supine As long as you get up and go tomorrow as a warrior Pat on your back and be on cloud nine The wintry chill in the past would rather feel like warmer When upslopes batter your spirits down, just say you’ll be fine As you feel connected to your strength, curveballs are no longer a torture Now laugh out loud and give a smile so divine The moon rabbits would greet you back in your dreams tonight with rice cake from their mortar Blessing is another word for fine The bitter past was only a blessing in disguise ‘cause your new era will be a perfect restorer Raise your glass of wine Time to live your life on the solid anchor

Evolving Grammar Rules

  The Grammar Rules Are Evolving or Becoming Extinct! Are you hairsplitting grammar police based on the existing/ traditional prescriptive grammar or gravitating more towards casual/ colloquial descriptive grammar?
