Transplanting a Tree - For Our Dear Daughter ’ s Wedding - 나무 한 그루 옮겨 심 으며 - 사랑 하 는 딸 결혼 에 부쳐 - In the clear morning , I transplant a tree from the yard to a forest . I am writing a letter with dew drops in selected , treasured words , wiping my hands with an apron , the deep mind concentrated . As a river cannot fill the sea even if it reached there , so is my thought . Long accumulated times form dew in the eye , drop by drop . It feels like yesterday when I innocently sown seed ; yet it has been twenty - eight years for its budding and growing in all seasons . It grew with branches and flowers to be a pride and joy of the garden ; it endured the scorching summer and severe cold winter every year . When the tree stands in the forest , it may get weary , but I move it with a joyful heart . I know how all other trees were like , for I believe in the big hands that raised them , blocking the storm , covering the frost . The hands convince me of their protection , flowering , and fruitfulness . I can see two trees standing side by side on one hill , blooming fruitfully . As singing flowers bloom and the sound of bells ring , I pray for plentiful bearing of fruits . Let us all stand as majestic trees every time in the eyes of love . = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = ========================= 8 .

Leaving the rock behind , stood upright veiling the morning sunlights , I have started for another resort againTo seek after the Utopia , For which I failed in finding it hereTill last night . Crossing the mountains , Across the sea , It is said , there is Utopia I ’ ve lost . I fly my mind over the place hidden in the veil of dreams . Meeting those men disguised in hypocrisy , Men under the cloak of honor , men on the money mattress , Men tormented by the virtual image and self - righteousnessWearing clothes of righteousness , I look for a man who leads to the truth and life .

City of Angels isnot always peaceful Tangled , entangled , twisted Not a word is to be heard You just have to tell by the looksif they love you or hate youYou just go on with your emotion buried behind the highs and lows of the voiceIn a café hangs a picture of buffaloes and sheep in peaceful harmony with the hills and mountains it ’ s quite different from those poor , but happy old daysJohn and Jane Doe split upYou and I feel friction , stuck together , giddyThese stories are leaking out through the windowShame Lost spins around on the ceiling fan blade But I still see the indigo skyIn the evening , the glowing colors of sunset painting the sky redOn the grass I watch a white ball rollingI hear children shouting , answering Balloons float up , tied on the pine tree in the park Will such tomorrow come ? Keep shaking my head I just live for today
