해와 달 / The Sun and the Moon
김정수 / Jeong-Su Kim
빨간 사과처럼 눈부신 해은반 접시처럼 은은한 달해가 질 때쯤 달이 떠오르고달이 질 때쯤 해가 떠오르네해가 외롭지 않도록박새가 찌르르 노래 불러주고달이 외롭지 않도록별이 반짝반짝 재롱 피우네해와 달은결코 만날 수 없네해와 달은 자연법칙에 따라 변함없지만우리네 마음은 수시로 변하네“여보게,우리도 저 해와 달처럼 되어보지 않을 텐가?”해가 질 때쯤 달이 떠오르고달이 질 때쯤 해가 떠오르네(2025년 8월 4일)
The sun, as dazzling as a red apple;The moon, as gentle as a silver plate.As the sun sets, the moon begins to rise,And as the moon sets, the sun begins to rise.So the sun will not be lonely,A titmouse sings its chirping song;So the moon will not be lonely,The stars twinkle and dance with playful charm.The sun and the moonCan never truly meet.The sun and the moon remain unchanged by the laws of nature,Yet our human hearts change all the time.“My friend,Shall we not try to be like that sun and moon?”As the sun sets, the moon begins to rise,And as the moon sets, the sun begins to rise.(August 4, 2025)
