Analysis of The Way To Yong-Mi-Ri
It’s full of autumn tints on the way
To the Yong-Mi-Ri, the leaves began to brown.
To the hills and vales it’s not long, the way
Was off the city streets and town.
The ridges surrounded the open fields
In softly and the sunlight shined in warm.
Here and there, on the altars, the goldfields
Were put and withered but bleached form.
The dragonflies were flying as the autumn winds.
I was standing between the tombs, and was seeing
Their flying, and it filled me something, some kinds
Of Love to my left life, by the fluttering.
In my young days, I felt the fear on the way
To the Municipal Cemetery, in old days but not now,
To the cemetery, maybe it’s not long the way,
On retuning the fruits were waving. Ciao!

About this poem
Yong-Mi-Ri is the biggest City Cemetery in Seoul. It's far away from the downtown of City, but now it's not far from Seoul like the old days, I don't know the reason because I'm older than before, or the city is expanding to the surburbs.
