맥문동을 바라보며

 

 

 

 

                                                                맥문동을 바라보며/ 연규흠

 

                                                               세상사 팍팍하여

                                                               기도조차 잘 되지 않는 날이면

                                                               나무 그늘에서 피어난

                                                               맥문동을 보며 마음을 삭이네.

 

                                                               겹겹이 싸인 꽃잎마다

                                                               나뭇가지 사이로 내비치던

                                                               쪽빛 하늘 보이고

                                                               가늘고 긴 잎사귀마다

                                                               물 흐르는 소리

 

                                                               햇볕 한 점 구경하기 힘든

                                                               척박한 땅에서도

                                                               보랏빛 꿈을 꾸는 꽃

                                                               오늘도 내 안에서

                                                               한 다발의 소망으로 피어나네.

 

                                                               서로서로 손잡은

                                                               맥문동 꽃자루처럼

                                                               내 이웃들의 작은 사랑이

                                                               무더기로 쏟아지네.
