“Voyage Ended”

Posted on October 14, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

© TaeHun Yoon (A Lament for Departing Love – 1980/2025) The cloud divides—silently—above the roofs that forgot how to shine.Its voyage ends in a breath of frostas the sun folds itself into the dim seam of day. Is anyone there?Come … Continue reading →

“여행의 끝” (떠나는 사랑을 위한 애가)

Posted on October 14, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

© 윤 태헌, 1980/2025 구름이 갈라진다 — 조용히 —빛을 잃은 지붕 위에서.그 여정은 한 줄기 서리의 숨결 속에서 멈추고,태양은 스스로를 낮의 가장자리로 접어 넣는다. 누구 있나요?들어와요 — 아니, 잠깐 —가요.이 방은 돌아옴을 담기엔 너무 좁아요. 당신을 잊기 위해나는 땅으로 몸을 … Continue reading →

“놀라운 일들” (목사관 서신, 사슴처럼 뛰는 영혼들이여, 열여섯번째 이야기) 1996, 윤 완희

Posted on October 14, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

어느 날, 내 자신이 얼마나 나약한 존재인지 잠시 경험해 본 적이 있습니다. 그날은 머릿속에 아무것도 떠오르는 것이 없고, 일에 대한 의욕도 흥미를 끄는 그 어떤 것도 없었습니다. 그냥 멍하니 앉아있기도 힘이 들어, 책상 위에 머리를 기댄 채 숨소리만을 듣고 있었습니다. … Continue reading →

“깊은 잠의 심연으로”

Posted on October 13, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

© 윤 태헌, 1997, 그리고 2025 종소리가 부드럽게 숨을 쉰다 —마치 그 울림이 별의 폐부에서 태어난 듯. 밤은 천천히 맥박을 감싸 안고,나 또한 그 고요 속에 모아진다. 노란 도마뱀이 문턱 위에 누워 있고,그 침묵은 달빛보다 더 빛난다.늙은 여인의 떨리는 손이슬픔을 … Continue reading →

© TaeHun Yoon, 1997, then 2025 The bell breathes softly—as if its sound were bornfrom the lungs of the stars. Night folds its handsaround the slow pulse of things,and I, too, am gathered into stillness. A yellow lizard rests at … Continue reading →

Posted on October 12, 2025 by TaeHun Yoon

© TaeHun Yoon, 1977, then 2025 When a star leans its face upon the pillow,the clocks forget their duty—time rests, breathing softly in the dark. Behind the fragile glass of being,light and shadow fold into each otherlike two hands learning … Continue reading →
