Back To The Land Poem by Kinsley Lee

Back To The Land



Jong-Rae, Lee

To the soil, I will go back.
To the land where I were, I'll go back.
I'll rise to the sky when I finish the life,
When sitting for relaxing with bad legs on the clouds,
When looking down the world which I sticked to my life
Deeply regretting the place where I sticked to affections
The clouds which I sat, when it'll be the snow-flower and falling down,
Lightly to the earth, I'll too fall down.

It breadths that the all the truthful lives and lover's whispering,
To the root of the ume flower, and god's doing his busy working,
The place where the sun and the moon visits by turns,
I soak the body in the brooks where the stars are too, playing.
Before we knew it, the galaxy fall down on the land` where I'm playing.

I myself will have the eternal sleep in these lands.
