Poetry and translation from Korean by Ihlwha Choi
Like a breeze, I walk lightly.
Sitting in the spring sun,
Gazing at the green valley,
Life is truly a lonely thing.
Even with yesterday's memories and tomorrow's hopes,
Even with friends coming and going and daily business,
Living is truly a lonely thing.
All day today, I've been thinking of you.
Is my life lonely because I miss you?
Is this spring day lonely because you're there?
Like a breeze, I walk aimlessly.
Sitting on the grassy field, gazing at the waves in the lake,
Even this blossoming season feels lonely
