Theme: Overcoming Lack of Self-Motivation

Unconsciously driving on a winding mountain road.

The afterglow shines, invoking the fate I hold.

Just when I get to be free like this passing wind,

I lose the drive; the spur in the air is thinned.

 

Now I see that everything on the road brings about more than a linear path.

As I went, it was hard to conceal my eyes in front of the fog and blurry spot.

Still, I go and make a move at my own pace in this race.

Dreaming to face, unlike my senses that have lost their ways.

 

Deep in my heart, a brighter smile is found within.

I know it, but to move forward with all this debris, keep my way in.

There is nothing to beat around, even if murky skies come running.

There's a way; a new departure route is what I'm taking.

 

In a two-way trip, I've found my glorious purpose.

At last, I was able to breathe again and restart the drive I had paused.

Looking back, I stared at this mass of clouds, resembling your image.

Then, I followed the memories pouring on the horizon, delivering a message.

 

With this small old blue car, my journey quietly wrought.

Away, alone, no one will see the steps I take, is what I thought.

Yet your presence remains, like a secret we both conveyed.

So I remember to wear smiles of happiness, like in every parade.

 

For me to get to be here is so close—less than a step ahead,

All that it would take for me to be whole and delighted.

I give back with grateful shouts while I remain here, seated.

Through a sincere exploration within myself, thoughts were deeply navigated.

 

This trip has finally come to an end.

Salute! For the moment that will never come again.

I thank myself for coming alive and letting go of pain.

Soon, a joyous season will come for me to drive straight in the lane.
