화무십일홍이요
세불십년장이라 
 
굵은 가지 먹물 풀어
난 치듯 휘갈기고 
 
꽃잎은 
머리 조아려
묵향 어린 말씀 받네

 < Jacaranda tree that absorbs wisdom >

 

The beauty of a flower is numbered, no more than ten days

So is someone’s power that is ten years, at best

 

The thick boughs yield calligraphy in black, inky

Brandishing scripts

 

The flowers absorb that aromatic wisdom

Lowering themselves humbly

Profusely
