The Okura Museum Of Gekkeikan(Wolgye-Gwan)

Kinsley Lee

In the millennium-old, the ancient capital streets, 
No smoking the tall chimney're imposing like sophora trees.
Countless people continue their stepping beats, 
The old water, once brewed rice-wine is delightful in breeze.

    'No smoking the tall chimney're imposing like sophora trees.'

    'The old water, once brewed rice-wine is delightful in breeze.'
    Brilliant!
    (To look with our own eyes
    As that our forefathers did
    to appreciate and word poetic
    to bridge a togetherness beyond
    war's legacy of hate
    to attune our awareness and relish
    in all the beauty that abounds
    what more can we ask of life
    aside a slice of love and little
    laughter, once in a while...)
