  Suncheon Bay

                                       Baek Won Sun

Into the spacious bosom of the mind

The waves are surging in and out.

The birds, having flown in from a distance

Are getting a place to rest.

Even while putting my feet in the winter's chilly water

And always waiting for you,

I don't beckon you to come

And stand near me.

When you miss this tough and bitter breast

While wandering in distant lands,

And have a longing for home in a dream,

It's alright, you can fold your wings

and rest before you set forth.

Not standing too long,

Don't roll the innocent eyes

As if being afraid of people and the passing of time,

Feel free to stop here on your soul's pilgrimage

like coming into the eternal hometown.

Again this day,

As soaking the root in the mud flat,

and listening carefully to the song of the wind

that heralds your graceful approach,

I am brimming with tears around my eyes.
