Narrow & Broad

 Narrow and wide, Nature keeps both sides. A narrow alley leads me to think deeper, and a broad road that’s mine to find.

I walk the same street at dawn,
The cafe wakes in amber light,
  there are changes happen inside, and no questions I can hide, in this broad street in a steady stride.

And then I run into the deep alleys,

The boutique designs the pieces of art.
learn to sense the world of difference,

appreciate the taste of fresh minds.
But there's a wind that blows,

And the stars shine above,
It hums of different colors , 

other galleries, other showtime

Narrow and wide, 

I carry both inside,
A hot drink to keep me warm,

 and the neo light touches the sky.
Narrow and wide, 

the world turns both ways tonight,
hold a different perspective,

one view in shade, one in light.

She keeps her words counted, 

each sentence in its place,
A conversation that mends the seams, 

exchange knowledge with palms.

He maps the roads to different towns, 

the distance on his way up,
Collecting stars like tokens, 

 practicing his alms.

Yet when the pencil and the paper meet,

 they tremble and collide,
A moment of clear silence —

choice carved out in tide,

line by line,

Phase by phase,

Page by page,

write a story of different kinds.

Narrow and wide,

I carry both inside,
A careful stitch that anchors around,

 and creative momentum spun with truthful insight.
Narrow and wide, 

the night makes room for both tonight,
I keep walking around —

one opens my thoughts,

one allows me to think/ profound.

There are songs that makes you feel calm,

 in a voice that’s small and near,
And there are symphonies,

that move the world,

 in a roar that you can hear.
I learned to listen to diverse opinions,

and shape my own viewpoint
To hush the storm when it gets close, 

to let the truth clarified.

Narrow and wide, 

the world turns both ways tonight,
I hold a secret passage—

one in shade, one in light.
Narrow down to stay focus,

and widen up to expand the horizons, 

like a stream and a tide,
I’ve learned to decide right.

So let the lamp light up,

while the horizon spreads its line,
I’ll speak in kindness, 

then watch the stars shining up.
Narrow and wide,

Nature keeps both sides,
A deep alley leads me to think deeper,

and a broad road that’s mine to find.
