내 마음의 구석
(A corner of my heart)
Thoughts, inspiration, art, poetry
Lovely leaves
have all been shed
from the mountain ahead of me.
Longing for the empty mountain,
white snow
might fall
upon the river.
Before the snow falls,
I would love to see you.
An Early Winter Letter by Kim Yong-taek


The raindrops caress the window
Let it rain on my soul
Purified, silent.
Photographs of memory
Bits, snipped and edited
The rain brings them out.
Some dusty, some clear
But all present.
Rain cleanses my heart
Yet tortures my soul.
Rain is forever
Rain over me.
Loneliness engulfs me
Raindrops keep falling.
I watch the trail left on the glass.
The clarity of thought
Leaves me breathless.
Click, click, all bits are aligned
Memory, past, present, future unknown
Yet rain is forever.
Rain by Corina Sferdenschi (from "Shards of Self")
