Street Walking

RalphLeave a comment

it was a way to let it all go;
simply opening the door
and taking one step after another
leaving all of the junks behind.

holding onto nothing
but a key and a phone
I let myself go
out into the world

pastel blue sky imbued in feather clouds
greeted me like an ocean
I saw and I knew:
this is the world I live in.

오직 모든 것들을 내려놓고
내 골방을 빠져나온 후에야,
내 자신을 해방시키고 난 후에야,
나는 비로소 세상을 보았다.
세상을 본 나는 그래서야 깨달았다.
‘내가 이 세상에 살고 있구나’ 라고.

I need a worthwhile risk to be excited
Something to feel rush of life every second
beyond comfort, above safety,
towards virtue, growing with purpose

I need clarity in my eyes
to see what’s worthwhile
and discipline
to execute exact plans.

인생 재미있게 살기 위해서라도
정신차리고
계획대로 실천할 필요가 있다.

Clearing

RalphLeave a comment

in silence, in slow action,
we peer open our eyes
watching the world blossom
little by little we realize
what we have to offer
and why we are here to together

묵언과 침묵 속에서
아주 조금씩, 조금씩
눈꺼풀을 들어다 보면
세상의 숨죽은 비밀이
보이기 시작한다.

Ice Whale

RalphLeave a comment

this blue feeling is like a giant whale
swimming quietly in deep dark ocean
solemnly, redoubtably, moves it does.
inevitable, chilling effect its presence has.
yet, we swim. Mechanically, effortfully we move.
glimpse of the night sky,
blips of scattered star above high
we move and we hope it will be worthwhile.

어둡고 춥지만
우린 앞으로 나아가야만 한다.
수 많은 이들과 했는 약속을 기억하며.

Serendipity

RalphLeave a comment

it could be a chance glance on a subway train
it could be a scent in a spring breeze
it could be a punchline in a children’s book
but when it hits you like a wall of ocean waves
and you let it soak in every waking minute
you might start noticing the world suits you
like an Italian cashmere suit tailored for you.
you. only you.

기쁘지 아니한가
우연의 일치로
몸에 맞는 세상을 만난다는것이

Gifts

RalphLeave a comment

try not to let the gifts fool you
rather than lathering yourself in gold
find discernable diet of restraint to be true;
hunger for growth, which is like fire in cold
when sprinkled like stars in dark night sky
it may shine brighter than moon above high

절제는 미덕이니
스스로를 엄격하게 대하고
가끔씩 상을 주는게
더욱더 빛나는 길이 아닌가 싶다

Interpretation

RalphLeave a comment

is the silence opportunity for deeper meaning
or is it a trap of an infinite loop of searching?
is speed of truth limited by speed of light?
is there limit to combinations of feeling right?
so many questions to search for the truth
so are interpretations to be made prude

두 눈 뜨고 공허한 공간을 바라 보아도
두 귀를 쫑긋 세워 고요함을 담아도
진실이 과연 가까이 있는가
질문을 넌지시 던져 본다
