Erasure for Measure
written by: Alex Andy Phuong
Gazing at stars up above
Drawing from the sky
Erasing with a pencil
Tracing with a stencil
Making attempts to capture beauty
By forming an intricate design,
And even if the past
Remains a part of history,
Search for golden opportunities
To contribute to the world as a whole
While merging the heart with the soul,
And even if the past cannot be erased,
Dare to leave behind an enduring legacy
That would offer hope for humanity,
Especially since a compelling narrative
Could have a reflective perspective
As well as ability to defy the stars
