바람만이 그 답을 알고 있지…

하늘아래에는

부드러운구름이가득차있어요

때로는바람에쏠려한순간에사라지고

때로는작고작은물방울로빚어져

당신이나내눈물로떨어지기도해요

나와당신이세상살이에지쳐

앓다내팽개친냉가슴이라도서로맞대면

뜨거워진태양빛이재빨리알아채고

구름입자를자꾸자꾸만드나봐요.

시카고에살고있는시인배미순님의-구름의길-중에서일부.

8일동안시카고에머무르다돌아오는길,

평온한마음이기도하고,또는특별한감정없이비행기의유리창밖을바라보자니,

뭉게뭉게피어있는꽃구름들이무더기로보였다.

간혹바람이구름사이로헤집고길을만드는것같기도한풍경들을만나기도하였다.

하늘은어쩌자고저렇게시퍼렇단말인가,

구름은어찌하여저토록순백의옷을입고있단말인가,

아….이토록보여지는모든것들은아름다운데…..
