24

Is that you?

You look familiar

A figure

I see 

So often

On the street i should afraid no more

It's a figure

Long past adulthood

A figure

Getting go on your own

A figure

Painted of weariness

24

I'm almost there

It's just a few months away

To befriend you in no time

That means

I'm soon to finish up

What I've started years ago

As if all just began yesterday

Chilly morning

Sunny afternoon

Stormy evening

Windy night

But look

24

It's me

It's just a few months away

24

These days were

Sunny at the outside

Stormy at the inside

The nerves are not mine

The heart

Either

The tingling and

Numbing nerve

With a rapidly pounding heart

One can feel 

And hear

On, neither,

A sleepless nor restful night

Silent night is simply

Another

Fairy tale

24

I'm younger version of you

Whom soon create a life of my own

A life I longed a lifetime

Since the day

I started everything

But

24

Why is the moment I've been waiting for

My entire life

Turn out to be the nest 

Of

Unsettling nerves and heart?

Why is it so fearful

One's hands tremble?

The excitement just vanished

No one knows?

24?

24

I'm weak

Bewildered

Unprepared

For the life events

That soon crashing in

In no time

I'm no close

To any of my elder siblings

Who welcome

Life

Open-handedly

With tremendous confidence

That 

Life

Will be

Full of joy

Which was

The biggest promise

I had 

Entrusted myself with

Years ago

When i first started it all

24

I'm standing under an old oak tree

I'm standing at the middle of the prairie 

I'm standing beneath an orange-pink skyline

I'm standing alone

Closed eyes

Opened arms

Letting the sunset-scented wind

Brushing against

Every inch of my skin

Letting all in

Letting all out

I know

The dandelions are dancing

So are the oak leaves

The grass

So clean

As if the nature is playing me a hymn

A hymn

So unique

Nowhere one can find

24

The wind has stopped

I can hear the birds now

I can hear the squirrels too

And something foreign 

Like breaths

An elk!

It's an elk!

His anthers so close

Just an inch away from my right cheek

As my eyes flipped open!

I took a few steps back

And He turns toward me

Magnificent!

I stretch out my hand

Opened palm

He drew His face closer

Toward

My hand

My tears rolled down

Mercilessly

And now I declare

My final defense 

Has been broken

As we

Touch

24

Within seconds

His torso dissolved 

Into 

Clouds of fireflies

Spanned across the prairie 

Beneath the darkening skyline

And the breeze starts again

So soft so tender

My hair waving backward

My tear dries

My emotions settling down

I stood up

Gazing 

Absorbing

It will be fine

My future

Will just be like

The illuminating prairie

So calm

So beautiful

24

I'm your younger sibling

Shall you assure me

I'll be fine as a human

Keeping myself alive

I'll be fine as a son

When my parents age gracefully

I'll be fine as a lover

When I found the love of my life

I'll be fine as a father

When I have kids I already love now

I'll be fine with my job

When i work one with an undying passion

As God bless

Everything will fall into places

When the time comes?

24,

Regards
