초파일 연등

 

 

 

                     초파일 연등 

                        

 

  

                     누가 밤길에 등불을 들고 갑니다 

                        

 

                     내가 보기 위해서가 아니라 

                        

                     남이 나를 보지 못할까 하여 

                        

                     등불 하나 들고 갑니다 

                        

 

                     내가 든 등불 하나 

                        

                     비록 내 앞만 겨우 비출 수 있지만 

                        

                     당신은 멀리에서도 등불을 봅니다 

                        

 

                     아주 먼 옛날 

                        

                     수많은 당신에게 비추어졌을 

                        

                     어느 가난한 여인네의 등 하나 

                                                                       

                        

                     이 밤, 절 마당에서 

                        

                     저마다의 등이 흔들거립니다
