Road

 

I endorsed my heart to a lovely violet flower in a field
For its purity and beauty.
I cheered with joy at the glance.
A wind has blown and I envisioned an ancient time.
I created a poem that read that
We walked along the path together with you
In ancient times, at present and in eternity.
That was in Jian, the ancient capital city of Koguryo.
It was an ordinary small road.
However it greatly moved my soul with great nostalgia.
I sincerely wished to walk along the way.
My heart was greatly touched with ancient memories.
A wind has come.
That knew how we had been together
With a most cherished person.
I prayed the wind should be eternal.

A separation had come
And I walked along the path by myself
With tearful eyes
Through which a violet flower was scarcely seen.
Lovely and pure,
It bothered any person
And remained beautiful to support my life.

I wondered if you knew about the violet flower.
As I could not tell my heart to anybody,
I conveyed my heart to the tiny flower.

At the tomb of Koguryo’s general
I came across the flower.
My heart was restored.
I addressed it and exchanged smiling faces
As it had been waiting for me so long.
A wind in sadness passed through our life.
I shared its pains and sadness of days of waiting.
I shed tears to the wind.

However the joy of seeing each other again has wiped away
All the sadness.
Under the shade of trees
Allowing receiving of sun beams
A brink of light was a sign of the fulfillment of my dream.
Everything was one.
A world without separation was coming.
The joy was born at the depth of my heart.

The violet flower at the tomb of the general,
The sad human history was changing into love.
