＜Acorn Tree＞ 영혼을 맑게 해주는 시 II - 윤동재 시인의 ＜도토리나무＞

Acorn Tree

by D.J. YOON

An acorn tree has dropped

An acorn on the ground

For squirrels

The squirrels have no idea where the acorn has fallen

Mommy and baby squirrels at a loss

Just looking at each other

The acorn tree looks so pitiful for them

To indicate where the acorn fell

Her leaves keep shaking

shaking leaves

shaking leaves

도토리나무

-윤동재

도토리나무가 다람쥐들을 위해

도토리 한 알

땅바닥에 떨구어 주었다.

어디로 떨어졌는지 몰라

어미 다람쥐 아기 다람쥐

서로 바라보고 있다.

도토리나무가 안타까운 듯

어디로 떨어졌는지 가리켜 주려고

자꾸만 나뭇잎을 흔들고 있다.

Appreciation 感想

What a lovely and beautiful poem!

It reminds me of ‘the Giving Tree’, though its subject matter is a little different.

I feel peaceful.

I feel pitifulness of the acorn tree.

It seems to me that the sounds of shaking leaves are audible.

Though it sings about squirrels, it is odd enough for me that there are no squirrels in sight.

Though it’s very short, I see that it, without any unnecessary details, is well compressed, thereby showing the beauty of ‘simple.’

I would say

Nothing to be desired.

Nothing to add any more.

Oh, I feel my soul becomes clean and clear.

I see the sounds of shaking leaves.

*For reference, my soul isn’t a skin care product.
