영시 46 July

July
--- Letter from Mt. Munbok 46

Written by D.H. Lee


It is the first day of July.
It means a half of this year has already run away.
The season of blooming flowers is also fading.
The remaining span of my life is floating away, too.
On a fragile boat of time with a indistinct trace.

It is the first day of July.
It means another half of this year is still waiting.
The season of fresh green has not yet fully arrived.
The splendid moment of my life is unfolding, too.
On the canvas of diary with a fragrance of mystery.
