쉬어가는 코너 – 영시詩 감상

경기 수출기업협회 유태승 회장님은 세계 시장 점유율 30% 이상인 자동차에어컨 부품업체 ㈜휘일을 운영하시며 바쁜 경영중에도 틈틈이 시를 쓰십니다. 2013년 자유문학을 통해 등단하였으며, 올해 8월에는 다섯번째 시집이 출간될 예정입니다. 중학교때 어머니를 잃은 슬픔과 어머니를 향한 그리움, 고향의 아름다운 풍경, 그리고 하루하루 열심히 정직하게 살아가시는 모습이 시 속에 그림같이 펼쳐집니다. 시집 ‘The Scent of golden Pines from Maroomoteh’ 의 수많은 시 중에서 두 편을 골라보았습니다. 시를 통해 더위를 잊고 망중한(忙中閑)의 여유를 잠시 누려보세요.       Ironing in Detroit Though it’s late at night in Detroit I’ve begun ironing in a room of a small hotel To prepare for the meeting with a buyer the next morn. I’m all care putting a crease in my trousers Keeping an eye on them to check If there happens to be any wrinkle or speck. As mother prayed earnestly in my childhood In front of a bowl of lustral water She fetched and placed on the jar stand, I put all my heart and mind on ironing. Believing that Heaven will help me If I put all my heart To any task, small or big, I only lead an earnest life.         Speak of the Summer Trees speak of the summer Growing exuberant Fighting off the rainstorms Standing firm against the roaring thunder and lightning. They dream of autumnal bountifulness Bearing stout fruits. Meanwhile, I wait and wait For the girl, my childhood friend Who would forget about the summer heat While she listens to the cicadas chirping And sings riding on a cart. The green as much fills the valley As the scent of pine trees does. Along with the day lily that beams with a smile Everything is fresh and beautiful.     .
