세상무대가 펼쳐지네 World's Stage Open for Show (translation - author 환한 미소)

[Anemone]

세상무대가 펼쳐지네

The world’s stage is open for a show

워메 원제 하나님이 세상을 바까부러쓰까               

아침 6 시 반  출근시작으로     

The grand show opens starting at 6:30 AM when I leave for work               

차고문 버튼을  누르니

I press on the garage door button

스르르 세상 무대 휘장이 올라가고

Slowly the world’s stage curtain open

하나님이 만드신 그림같은 무대 세상이 쫘악 펼쳐지네

And the grand scenery created by God is presented

봄을 손짓하는 가녀린 나무가지 꼭대기에   걸려 있는 달

The moon is hanging within the slender branches in the midst of spring early morning

밤새내 ‘나 ‘기다리다 지쳐서 얼굴이 반쪽이 되었단다

It eagerly waited for my entrance, but it looked tired from the long wait – only half of its face was now shown

‘하나님의 딸’ 나오다고 하얀미소를 지으며 반겨준다

The half-moon smiles brightly at the daughter of God

밤중 내내 잠 못자고

The moon didn’t get to sleep

하늘 마당 깔끔히 청소해 놓은  하얗게 지친 달

It toiled all night, tidying up the sky

하도  넓은 하늘 마당에

The wide sky floor

듬성듬성 빚자루 자국난  구름들

The undulating dust prints of the broom within the clouds

얼굴 반쪽이 되도록 밤새 빚자루질 하고 피곤해 하는 반달

The moon broomed all night until it became half-faced

 그래도 인사하고 들어갈거라며

Though it is tired, it greets me

그때까지 호다식구 기다렸단다

It waited for the Hodanites to wake

빚자루에 쓸려간 구름은

The cloud has been broomed

우리집 앞마당

Now, to my front yard

잔디밭 나뭇잎   꽃잎에 내려 앉아

Fallen leaves and flower petals gently sit

맑고맑은 이슬 보석 뿌려 놓고 갔구먼.

Pure and clear dews are ornated like the jewels

 귀퉁이에 남은있는  하얀 구름도

The white cloud residue that the moon forgot to sweep

조심히 운전하라며 손 흔들어 반겨주고

Wave to me good-bye and say drive safe as I leave for work

저멀리 햇님 보며 슬금슬금 뒷걸음쳐 흘러가네

The far-distanced sun slowly begins to rise

차가  골목길을 스쳐 지나가는데

The sun lits through the alley I drive through                          

키 큰 가로수들 언제 눈 비비고 일어났는지

The tall alley trees rub their eyes as they are awakened by the light

있는 팔은 죄다 하늘향해 높이 치켜들고 하나님 찬양하며 서있고

The trees are all raising their arms toward the sky, praising God

길 따라 나란히 정렬하며 줄서서

They are lined side by side and pronounce 

“ 우와 하나님의 딸 지나간다” 소리치며

“Whoa! God’s daughter is passing through!”

한팔은 나를 향해 흔들어주는 센스있는  가로수들      

The polite roadside trees waving one arm at me 

팔꿈치를 굽혀 인사해주는 가로수 녀석들

It bends its elbows and salutes me good-bye

봄 처녀가 가져 올 그린색 드레스 기다리며

They wait for the Spring to wear the green dress

스키니 속 옷만 입고   나와주는 귀여운 녀석들

How cute are they to greet me only in their underwear

발레 스커트 입고 하늘향해  환호 해 주는 팜추리들               

Then, there are palm trees wearing ballet tutus

Cheerleading pom  poms 들고 서 있는 각종  나무 녀석들          

They hold onto cheerleading pom poms

담뒤에서  꼰지발 치켜들고 넘겨다 보며

They watch me over the freeway fence

‘나도  너 가는거  지켜보고 있어’   저 멀리서도 윙크하는 나무들

“I am watching you, too” they say as they wink at me

담을 타고 넘어 어깨죽지를 담에 걸치고라도

The trees break their shoulders just to climb over the fence                           

하나님 딸 보겠다고 안간힘 쓰며 기어오르는 담쟁이 녀석들

Just to see daughter of God    

언제 꽃시장 다녀왔는지  꽃다발 들고 서 있는

When did the world visit the flower shop?

 프리웨이 언덕에 자리잡은 꽃 들  

Flowers lay on top of the freeway hills                              

다들 이모양 저모양 하나님 찬양하며 환호성 외쳐주네

All bulbs and petals praising and cheering to God

5 차선 프리웨이에

On a five-lane freeway                                                

내 앞 옆 뒤에 경호 해주는

The vehicles in front, back and sides guard my traffic                                                             

크고 작은 수많은 차량 행렬들

Numerous lines of vehicles large and small

즐비하게 서서 겸손히 허리굽혀 성령의 불을 켜주고 있는 가로등

Street lamps standing in rows, bowing down in humility and lighting the fire of the Holy Spirit.                                                      

십자가 등에 지고 예수님 은혜 잊지마라고 당부하는 전신주들

Telegraph poles mark the cross on their back and remind me the grace of Jesus

머리위에 군무 춤을 추며 오르락 내리락 성령춤추는 새들 

Bird flocks dance above – up and down dancing with the Holy Spirit

차창앞 유리에

I look through the front windshield, and I view the mountains

성령의 임재가 가득한 안개덮힌 산 병풍 펼쳐지고

The mountain is covered with Holy Spirit fog

눈 덮힌 하얀 산 봉우리들이 

The mountain peaks capped with white snow

저멀리 하늘에 두둥실 떠있네

I see the mountain floating far away in the sky

날개쭉지 내려놓고 하강하는

Even the descending planes from up above

비행기까지 동원하신

God watches plane’s landing

우리 아버지의 사랑이 온천지 빼깔이 널려있네

My father’s love is all over the place

“우와 나는 하나님 자녀다”

“Whoa, I am a child of God.”

“하나님의 딸이다”

“I am God’s daughter.”

하나님 사랑해요 예수님 감사해요 성령님 고마워요

God, I love you.  Jesus, thank you.  Holy Spirit, thank you.

가슴 벅차게  차안에서 외쳐대다보니

I shout my heart full of praises in the car.

버얼써 일터 파킹장

Already, I am at my work parking lot.

‘오늘도 여지없이 행복하게

일하고 와, 내가 기다렸다 집에 안전하게 델다줄께’

“Go and happily do your work.  After you’re done, I will take you safely home.”

납작 엎드려  인사하는 차 등을 토닥거려주고

Parked cars bow down with respect.

일터로 한껏 미소지으며

As I walk to work with a smile,

하나님의 군인되어  

I become a soldier of God.

씩씩하게 등장한다

I enter with courage and strength.

This is the greatest show on Earth
The greatest grand opening in the world
Bravo, bravo

The show must go on!

Thank you for sharing Brilliant Smile
I really enjoyed the show
I thank God that He opened your spiritual eyes so you can see what He wants to show you
And then you shared with us
I will watch this show all the time
Shakespeare, Poe, Keats, and T.S. Eliot has nothing on your poetic talent
I love you!
