Steps

The wonder that
I met you at last
On the last steps

The hardship that
Our ways departed
With the first marks

Ridges

Earth-grooving steel
Turns one year’s hardness
Upside down

Art

One carves through stone
To define his self
Unfinished work

Doubt

How easy to deem
An afar image of damned
Than the afore-tears

Staccato

Each rolling wheel
Juggling through my mind
Old train’s struggle

Hardship

One thinks there’s a path
To the top of the mountain
And searches for it

Growth

One sees the rose
But seldom the bud
Struggling toward

Mastery

A whole lifetime
To prepare one's self
For one moment

Perspective

The eagle
Looks at the storm
From above

Resilience

A blushful rose
Plundered of its thorns
Remains a rose
