A Place Far, Far Away 아득히 먼 곳 [그 곳에 있다]
​By Park Ki-bum
​Because they said spring lives
In a place far, far away,
I emptied my day
And lingered along the field paths.
​I pressed my ear beneath the mountain shadows,
Felt the pulse of the dry earth,
And fumbled for the lips of the wind,
But in the end,
My hands were empty.
​At sunset,
On the road back home,
My shadow was weeping before I could.
​It was only a difference in thought;
Even if it were a far-off place,
It was not truly far away.
In the deepest well of my heart,
The color of water that no one had drawn—
Upon that water,
Your face was floating.
​Only then
Did I light a lamp within me.
Without a word, you were the one
Pushing away the winter
And placing your warmth
Upon the withered branches.
​You were the breath
That made the buds sprout before I knew it.
So that was why—
The reason I kept
Leaning toward you.
​That place I believed to be so far away
Was actually your shoulder;
I only know this now.
​Spring is not
Something you go out to find,
But the act of loving
A single person to the very end.
​That you, a place so far yet so near,
Are the spring itself.
​

아득히 먼 곳

박기범

아득히 먼 곳에
봄이 산다 하여
나는 하루를 비워 들고
들길을 서성였다

산그늘 밑에 귀를 대고
마른 흙의 맥을 짚고
바람의 입술을 더듬었으나
끝내
빈손이었다

해 질 무렵
돌아오는 길 위에서
내 그림자가 나보다 먼저 울고 있었다

생각의 차이일 뿐
먼 곳이라 해도
먼 데 있지 않았다
가슴 가장 깊은 우물 속
아무도 길어 올리지 않던 물빛
그 물 위에
당신의 얼굴이 떠 있었다

나는 그제야
내 안에 등을 켰다
당신은 말없이
겨울을 밀어내고
마른 가지에
체온을 얹어 주는 사람이었다

나도 몰래
눈을 틔우게 하는 숨결이었다
그래서였구나
내가 자꾸
당신 쪽으로 기울던 이유가

아득히 먼 곳이라 믿었던 그 자리가
당신의 어깨였다는 것을
나는 이제야 안다

봄은
찾으러 가는 것이 아니라
사람 한 사람을
끝까지 사랑하는 일이라는 것을

당신이란 먼 곳 이면서도
가까운 곳이 봄이란 것을
