Dear Future Me Dear Future Me
“Dear Future Me” is a series in which Shohei Koyama—poet and owner of JIYUCHO — delivers poetic words in Japanese and English, like letters to his future self that trace the subtleties of everyday life. I hope this becomes a place like your mailbox where postcard poems arrive.
Dreams
As if today were only a passing dream
what do I feel right now
where am I heading
what do I bring along into the future
every now turns into a dream
shining, becoming a source
a step for hope, for light, for tomorrow
then here, in this moment
this time, this day, this now
what do I raise to the sky
what do I keep close within
