Corona by Moon, Bohyun

March 28, 2020 written and translated by Bohyun Moon

Looking at distant mountains
I envy the freedom of birds
I look up with a gray smile

Where are you looking at
Aren’t you locked in a cage and  losing your freedom?
I hear only the empty echo

The turmoil of the kids who were chatting over the window
Small room, small window
Childish freedom flies concentrically in the air with petals

My love song for you
On a gray cloud full of longing
It flows silently
코로나 
문보현 씀 2020년 3월 28일
 
먼산을바라보며
새들의자유로움이부러워
회색웃음을지으며바라보내
 
내님은어디서뭘보며
새장에갇혀자유로움을잃어가지는않는지
공허한메아리만들리우내
 
창넘어재잘거리던아이들의소란스러움은
작은방작은창가에소리없이스며들어
동심의자유로움이꽃잎과함께허공에날아가네
 
내님을향한나의사랑의노래는
그리움만가득담은회색빛구름에
소리없이흘러가네

Mom by Mr. Cha | 엄마, 차강석 씀

Jan 25 2025 by Cha, Kang Seok (차강석)

The word “elegance”
comes to mind

Mom’s appearance is elegant
and her heart is also elegant

She is warm and cozy 
like an Ondol room

She is old and sick now, however,

she always tries to keep her and her surroundings clean
and not to harm others
   엄마

   단아(端雅)함이란 
   단어가 저절로 떠오른다
   
   곁 모습이 단아하다고
   마음도 단아해 보이지만

   마음은 온돌방처럼
   따스하고 아득하다

   비록, 지금은
   늙고 병이 깊지만

   주위를 깨끗히 하고
   남에게 피해를 안 주려 노력하신다

Erased Time

April 10-2020

Even if I don't erase it, it will be erased.
Just like a hard drive breaks down

Things that aren't my time will disappear like that.

What does the sky want?
I 
I want to live by throwing small help.
지워진 시간
0410-2020

예써 지우지 않아도 지워진다.
하드가  망가지듯
 
내 시간이 아닌것들은 그렇게 사라지나보다.
 
하늘이 원하는건 무얼까
난
작은 보탬을 던지며 살고싶다

New year by Mr. Cha | 새 해, 차강석 씀

Jan 10, 2025 by Cha, Kang Seok (차강석)

   January 1st, 00:00!
   although the new year has arrived,
   dawn light is still far away

   In the dark,
   I wander around looking for the light
   I can't even see the faint light

   However, 5 to 6 hours 
   If I wait, the new year will come dazzlingly every day.
    1월 1일 0시
   새해가 밝았다지만
   여명(黎明)은 아직 멀었다

   어둠 속에서
   빛을 찾아 헤매지만
   아스라한 빛도 볼 수 없다

Color

March 06 2020 by Sooyoung Kim

At the place where colors are strong, 
there is one which color is light and shallow.

At the place where there are strong opinions,
there is one which has no opinions

Strangely 

My heart dwells with light colors at the place where colors are strong,
and dwells with no claims at the place wehre there are strong opinions.
색
3/6/2020

색이 진한곳에
색이 흐린 사람 하나가 있다
 
자기 주장 많은 곳에
자기 주장 없는 이가 있다
 
이상하게도
 
색이 진한 그곳에 흐림이
주장 많은곳에 없음이
내 마음 머문다

What killed it? by Mr. Cha | 무엇이 죽였을까? 차강석 씀|

Dec 23, 2024 by Cha, Kang Seok (차강석)

What killed it? 

What did make me explode:
Flame like red blood from snow like beard ?

Buddha? Jesus? 
Muhammad? Marx? 
What took dreams away from peoples? 

it's science or cutting-edge tech armored humans!

———————————————————

🙏🏻I/Sooyoung share Cha's this poem but in me, science is dreams and hopes.
   무엇이 죽였을까?

   뭐가 눈 같은 수염에 
   불꽃처럼 붉은 피를 
   용솟음치게 만들었을까?

   부처? 예수?
   마호멧? 마르크스?
   사람들에게서 꿈을 빼앗아 간나?

   그것은 바로 과학
   즉, 첨단을 나는 인간들!

Pray before the choices

Feb 24, 2020, by Sooyoung Kim

As I get older,
I hesitate more
when I face with choices

I pray that:
my choices lead to the right path
and the best

for me and my family
I pray every moment that :
I make the right choices at every moment
선택과 기도
김수영 씀 2020년 2월 24일

나이들면서
더욱 주저한다
선택 앞에서
 
기도한다
나의 선택이
올바른 길이길
최선이길
 
나와 가족을 위해
매 순간 올바른 선택을 하게 해 달라고
매 순간 기도한다
