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")
