한 소나기 지나갔다고
어느 새 눈물을 씻고
활짝 웃는 바늘꽃

그런 얼굴로
누구를 찌를 수 있을까
차라리 제 손가락에
바늘을 꽂는다.

Upvoted! Thank you for supporting witness @jswit.

@jjy, what a beautifully poignant poem and photograph! The image of the Epilobium hirsutum (바늘꽃 - 'needle flower') after the rain, juxtaposed with your thoughtful words, is truly captivating. The contrast between the flower's delicate beauty and its potential to "prick" creates a powerful metaphor for resilience and inner strength. The closing lines, where you suggest turning the needle inward rather than harming others, resonate deeply with empathy and self-reflection.

This piece really stands out in its ability to evoke such strong emotions with such simplicity. Thank you for sharing this moment of beauty and contemplation. I encourage everyone to read this poem slowly and let its message sink in. What does this poem evoke in you? Let @jjy know your thoughts!

모든 꽃이 다 이뻐요. 들여다 볼수록 오묘….
