                                         For Ko Hyeong Ryeol

 

            I am a bird flying here

            In the strange nest, I hide myself

            The window, peaceful lake surface

            An intimate and stunning voice at dawn

 

            In my closed eyes, the leave waves are spreading endlessly

            Under Summer’s feet

            Over Spring’s head

 

            The snow begins unrolling a soft blanket

            And Winter embraces my shoulders with its huge hands

 

                           Zen Monastery Sokcho, 6/12/2010
