언뜻 보이려 한다.
어릴적 손끝으로 그리던 그림이.
슬픔도, 즐거움도, 아픔도, 화남도,
모두 그 그림의 일부이었다.
수많은 모험 속에서,
조금씩 색깔을 맞춰가는 이 그림.
완성된 그림보다
그려가는 과정에 의미가 더 있는 그림.
그런 그림이다.

Get
if you want it,
stretch out your arm,
grasp it with your fingers.
don’t wait others to do it for you.

Black cat
a black cat appeared.
its amorphous darkness
morphed into a sinkhole.
I grasped at it without avail.
So I stared at it
as it stared back.
It bowed,
dissipating into warm night air.

Friend
it’s quiet, but not heavy.
a clear light blue sky,
and bright airy sun ray
leans into my navy shadow room.
I part my lips to say:
“I know you are here
even if I cannot see you now.
Thank you for all you did for me.
Thank you for believing in me.
Thank you for staying with me.”
and I closed my eyes.

Fishing
don’t nibble on that hook
it will catch you right away
and bring you down to lower place
where you’ll have to work all day.
no way you’ll want such thing.
get out of those scenarios.
be free.
Close
sometimes stars align
sometimes they miss each other
even though they dearly wanted to.
too bad when it does or doesn’t
we live with the consequences
no regret,
be strong.

Steady
slowly, a soft and sweet foam rolls
it’s mellow to touch and dreamlike.
but what I recall in my memories:
those dust-covered, strewn-about
messiness, chaotic mess, and lump
I wonder how long the sweetness,
the softness last.

Hidden
what’s hidden in your heart?
surely, you won’t see what me beneath mine.
years of suffering after naive decisions
hardened my heart so much
it won’t budge to your tricks.
still, it yearns for the day
when innocence was prevalent
where trust flowed.

Arrival
now is the time we must face each other.
there will be disappointments,
surprises, and agreeableness.
remember to live this moment
as fleeting as it may be
with your fullest focus.

running
When you run,
Start slow.
And then pick it up bit by bit.
Slow down once in a while
But when you see your chance,
When you feel the stars are lining,
When you taste sweetness in the air,
Run as fast as you can
Squeezing every liquid out of your muscles
See the white flash in front of your eyes
When you are through
You will know
You have done it.
You have lived the best part of this run.
