Tears by Kim Hyun-seung
Often
I wish to be a small seed
falling to the fertile ground.
These are all I have–
flawless, spotless,
unbroken!
When I am asked to offer
what is most precious,
these are the only ones I have left!
You saw the flowers of a beautiful tree withering
and made it bear fruit,
and, after giving me laughter,
you have renewed my tears.
