Tokyo
Night lights
Mosquito bites
Big cites
And beautiful sights
In this foreign land
I struggle to understand
Yet all I see
are well known brands
I’m here in Japan
With a brand-new plan,
To put away the past
And start over at last.
Neon lights
In the beautiful sky
Now I see why, people take this flight
Hopefully one day
You will see
The astonishing array
That may inspire you
To look out of the blue
And look for something better
Just like I have too.
This is a photo I took when I arrived to Tokyo (from a McDonald window). Each time I look at it I remember the beauty of the city and it inspired me to write his poem. Enjoy!

Apple
I'll pick up an apple off the ground; with time I can turn it into vinegar. Sweetly smelling and pungent, sugars broken down—ready to aid my daily life, but there are some things it won't be able to fix. Though the process of making something new, waiting for the fermentation to finish, patience through the journey to take care of something that I will bottle with my own hands, is enough to make it seem like everything is where it needs to be. Control is something I gain—simply by picking up an apple before the worms get to it first.

The Business of Nature
Dew drops reflected the light of the sun. The inhabitants of Whispering Woods woke up to the golden droplets of water on the leaves of the flora. The oaks particularly enjoyed the light and the maples did, too. Happiness enveloped all who lived there, even the rocks that cried out in the night delighted in the morning.
