  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

Trees by Jean Jiyoung Lee Are you the one that has been in my yesterday? Am I still in your memory? You know my stories and quiet moments of silence in somber overlay That from time to time emerge in a way so peremptory. In the morning, you whisper sounds of hopes through balmy sunray At dusk, you bring me to tears pointing toward the sky where my father is so gingerly.   Trees, you are listening when I pray Then keep me stay peaceful in my trajectory. Each time I get lost in a maze to my dismay, Your changing colors of leaves have taught me life is full of mystery.   Will you be there for me in my twilight years in the same way?
