못다 핀 꽃은

  

  

                                                  
                                                

                                                      세상을 끝낼 것 같은

                                                      침묵 속에서

                                                      나를 찾아 나서는

                                                      시간은 아득하였다

                                                      말하지 않은 아픔 껴안으며

                                                      뜨겁도록 차올랐던

                                                      슬픔 하나가

                                                      돌아서 눈물 삼켜야 했으니

                                                      갇힌 가슴은

                                                      조용히 빗소리를 들어야만 했다



                                                      아무도 모르게 흐느끼는

                                                      이 계절 속에

                                                      못다 핀 꽃은,

                                                      등 뒤의 그림자로만 남아

                                                      어둠에 젖은 노을이 될 수밖에.
