셋방살이

풀잎이
전세를 놓았다

풀벌레가
전세를 얻었다

풀잎은
전셋값으로 노래를 받아
날마다 기뻤다

풀벌레는
전셋값으로 노래를 주어
날마다 즐거웠다.


나무와 새

햇살 따사로운 봄날
새 한 마리 날아와 나무 위에 앉는다
부러운 나무는 새를 보며 말한다
“나도 너처럼 하늘을 날고 싶다.”
나무의 마음을 안 새는 가슴의 비밀을 털어놓는다
하늘 푸른 여름날
“우리처럼 하늘을 날고 싶으면 네가 가진 것 다 나누어 줘야 해.”
아무것도 지니지 않아야 하늘을 날 수 있다고 새가 알려 준다
하늘 맑은 가을날
새의 말을 기억한 나무는 열매를 사람들에게 다 나눠 준다
그리고 빈손을 펼쳐 든다
차가운 겨울날
가지에 앉아 놀아 주던 새도 남쪽나라로 떠났다
홀로 서 있는 나무는 입고 있던 옷들까지 다 벗어 준다
풀숲에서 떨고 있을 작은 벌레들을 위하여
하늘은
가진 것을 다 주는 나무의 마음을 알고
하얀 솜이불을 펼쳐 나무를 덮어 준다
솜이불을 덮고 누운 나무는 이제 꿈을 꾼다
한 마리 새가 되어 훨훨 날고 있다
하늘 무지개다리 건너서.
