  SOKCHO                                          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                                                                            MAI VAN
