Water Droplets on a Lotus Leaf
by D.J. YOON
Water droplets on a lotus leaf
Gather here
Plop plop splash
Water droplets on a lotus leaf
Gather there
Whisper hush
Water droplets on a lotus leaf
All on one side
Chatter giggle slide
Water droplets on a lotus leaf
Isn’t it heavy?
The leaf bends gently, carrying them
Water droplets on a lotus leaf
Talking together, soft and sweet
While the wind sighs at our feet
Water droplets on a lotus leaf
Playing together, light and proud
Looking down at drifting clouds
연잎 위 물방울
-윤동재
연잎 위 물방울
이쪽에 모여
까르르까르르
연잎 위 물방울
저쪽에 모여
소곤소곤
연잎 위 물방울
한쪽에 모여
왁자지껄
연잎 위 물방울
무겁지 않을까?
연잎 제 등허리에 물방울 지고
연잎 위 물방울
실컷 떠들고 얘기 나눌 수 있도록
바람 숨을 가만가만 쉬고
연잎 위 물방울
실컷 놀 수 있도록
해 구름 타고 내려다보기만 하고
