배 | Boat

2021/3/26 김수영 씀

바다에
배한척
배 안엔 혼자

  비가 온다
폭풍이 친다
파도가 널 뛴다

  시간만 많다면
허락이 된다면
배를 지키고 싶다
바다가 잠잠해 질때까지

  배에 사람을 테우고 싶다
사람을 테울만큼 사이즈의 배이고 싶다

  배를 버려야 하는 때인지
지켜야 하는 때인지
알수 없다

  단지 내가 아는건
배 밖
육지엔
날 지키고자하는
내가 지켜야하는
사람들이 있다는것이다.


The Boat

March 26, 2021, written by Sooyoung Kim

Adrift on the sea,

a solitary boat

and I, its only soul.

Rain begins to fall.

The storm roars.

Waves rise and crash like beasts in revolt.

If only time were on my side,

if only I had permission

I would stay,

guarding this boat

until the waters quiet,

until the storm forgives.

I dream of filling this vessel with others,

of becoming a boat

wide and strong enough to carry them.

But I do not know

whether this is the time to let go

or the time to hold on.

All I know is this:

beyond the bow,

on distant land,

there are those

who would shield me

and whom I must protect

in return.
