오랜만에 언덕을 올라 갔을 때
바람이 불었다.
익숙하면서도 새로운 바람이
내 손끝에서 팔과 어깨를 스쳐 갔을 때
수년 전의 사람이 떠올려졌다.
놓을 저녁과 부드럽게 어울리던 그 미소가
서서히 내 가슴 속에 물들어 갈 때
차갑게 응어리진 무언가가 녹아들 때
고개들어 태양을 마주 보며 말하였다.
고맙다고.
지켜봐 달라고.

Glimmering
Warm and bright, white light filled the universe
As much as my eyes could embrace the world,
each molecule bursted into golden kaleidoscope of the sun
you were eternally smiling, filled with innocent joy and love
with your eyes, imploring to join you in your song.
Levitating, swooning and swirling in smooth and sweet melody,
we walked the path ever so bright and fearless.

Hope
I wish for the warmth in the morning of winter.
The coolness of a breeze in the late summer afternoon,
and the song in our heart dancing in circles.
Playful talks, roaring laughs, and feeling smiles,
full of hope, we’d march forward.
We’d be ready for what’s to come.

Follow
Sway a little, twist a whistle,
Groove in rhythm, beating a drum.
Bum-da-dum, and here I am.
Dum-da-dum, here we go.
Look into my eyes and see the sky,
glimpse of your soul in the darkest hour,
rising again with a golden sunlight
ever so bright with warmth of delight.
Hum-ho, let’s get going,
Hum-hum-ho, here we go!

Passing
I guess this is the end.
The wind in the hair,
the soft breathing of sunset,
the tight lips that arched
into a bittersweet smile.
It’s alright, kid.
Don’t worry about it.
I enjoyed this ride.
Go on, go on.
I am alright.
March on, on you go.
It’s going to be alright.

One
Like a wall of ice against a glowing sun,
a memory deeply buried in the back of the mind emerges.
Between what is appropriate and what isn’t,
I hesitated and regurgitated my words.
And then miscommunication and misunderstanding ensued,
Until I had to straighten it out and realize
that eventually, the life converges to an end.
So let me at least just say: hi.

Sun
when the window opened wide
and the eternally dark room
suddenly exploded in white light,
my eyes were briefly consumed
tears welled up, and fell off my eyes.
I sat, blinked a few times,
I stood up, stared at the sun
The day has already begun.

눈
그의 눈은 그리 말하고 있었다 –
‘나는 알아 그 누가 뭐래도
내가 무엇을 해냈는지’ –
조용하게 또는 뜨겁게
그의 눈은 새까만 태양이었다.

Sun
do not despair my dear
don’t you see
the sun is shining for you
the ocean waves at you
if you listen carefully
you’ll see the world loves you.

Miracle
every day, I am hoping,
wishing for a miracle.
in the ocean of sand grains,
I yearn to become the one.
one that is picked up,
one who is loved,
one who knows the truth.
saved from calamities.
then I saw the sun.
ever-shining sun.
it was beautiful.
I am immersed in
its repetitive motions,
and all of its colors.
And so did a smile
on my lips
as I woke up again
in the morning.
