Han Min Ohn Poems

Nights oblivious to the moon on the sky
Nights twinkling stars failed to shine
Nights meteor dance was not seen
Nights wishes remained as dreams.
...

Trapped in a fog, covering an area so vast
Nobody can tell which way to go is best
Trapped in a fog that is too thick to see
I could hardly tell what is surrounding me
...

Footprints on the beach here and there
No one could guess which pairs went where
Some were large and some were small
Too many pairs to count them all.
...

One moonless night with my back on the lawn
I gazed into the sky above on my own
Though there was no moon to light the dark sky strong
By twinkling stars the heaven was shown
...

Life is full of twists and turns
So are the people making it runs
With a single turn around life’s corner
Smiling faces may become scary figures
...

Observe the water in a pond
Keep it still and particles will sediment to ground
Only then the surface becomes transparent and clear
Our reflections we can view without a blur
...

A rainbow will not be such a beautiful sight
If not with mixture of colors it is lighted
Flowers will not be attractive also
If only with monotony their color is bestowed
...

Lucky me that I have nothing
I can sleep without worry till there is something.

Damned me that I have nothing
...

A water droplet
Rolling down along the wall
Till it touches the floor.
...

Some people say additional wealth can be created new
I really wonder and wonder how this may be true
Wealth we mainly measure by money, gold, land and housing
The latter three all cannot be bought with cash in-flowing
