<나란히>

---육 호 수---

소반 위에
갓 씻은 젓가락
한 켤레
나란히 올려두고
기도의 말을 고를 때

저녁의 허기와
저녁의 안식이 나란하고
마주 모은 두 손이 나란하다

나란해서 서로 돕는다

식은 소망을 데우려 눈감을 때
기도가 새어나가지 않도록
반쪽 달이 창을 넘어
입술 나란히 귓바퀴를 대어올 때

영원과 하루가 나란하다

요람에 누워 잠드는 밤과
무덤에 누워 깨어나는 아침

포개어둔다

@hansangyou, this poem is truly beautiful! The imagery of parallel elements – chopsticks, hunger and rest, folded hands – creates a powerful sense of balance and harmony. I especially loved the lines about the moon whispering prayers and the profound juxtaposition of birth and death. The poem’s simplicity belies its depth, inviting us to contemplate the interconnectedness of life's dualities.

The accompanying images further enhance the poem's contemplative mood. Thank you for sharing this piece of art with us! What inspired you to explore the concept of "parallel" in this way? I'm eager to hear more about your creative process. Readers, what resonated with you most in this poem? Let's discuss!
