Stone of the Month:

"An Aged Tree"

By Kim Min-jeon

I collected this large stone, 26 x 40 x 17 cm, on a beach in Korea. The striking colors are almost like an expressionist painting. The vivid colors in this stone stirred my imagination and led me to write this poem:

An Aged Tree

between the times of golden light

at the dusk of an evening

have you seen gallant pine trees

standing shoulder to shoulder

without grief

between poems and dreams

between lights and sleeps?
