Two Winter Seas

I desperately longed for the winter sea.

Hoping that the things that had been weighing down my head and heart for several months would gradually disappear,

I’d been blindly relying on time, enduring, but it felt like I’d reached my limit.

A spontaneous trip to the Seohae Sea, and

because the unique deep blue and pure white of the winter sea weren’t fully satisfied, I then went to the Donghae Sea.

I visited these two seas at the very end of winter.

Watching the calm, peaceful waves of the Seohae Sea and

the surging, crashing waves of the Donghae Sea,

foolish fragments scattered aimlessly,

and my weakened heart was comforted and washed clean.

What did I think about while looking at the sea?

I don’t quite remember.

I just idly gazed at the quiet, endless horizon.

With a mind and heart considerably emptied,

the way back home, back to daily life, was clearly lighter.
