First of all, I'll show you a transcription video this time.
This poem is composed of short sentences, and instead, the whole length is long. Blackwater Pond is a freshwater pond that is formed of real sand. It was said that she could often see it where she lived. The forest around the pond was called Blackwater Woods.
Reading this poem, we can see that it shows the poet's deep thoughts on human life and death. These thoughts are thought to have a little oriental perspective.

So, I'll take a picture of the water lily flower
I tried to express the feeling.
Lotus and water lilies bloom all over the world, but they have a more special meaning, especially in Northeast Asia. They are often cited in Buddhism and often appear in myths and fairy tales.
The reason why I put tape on the photo in Experiment24 is to express my willingness to keep the natural passage of Mother Nature's time in this photo.
Now, let me show you the full text of this poem and the original copy that I transcribed.
In blackwater woods By Mary Oliver
Look, the trees
are turning
their own bodies
into pillars
of light,
are giving off the rich
fragrance of cinnamon
and fulfillment,
the long tapers
of cattails
are bursting and floating away over
the blue shoulders
of the ponds,
and every pond,
no matter what its
name is, is
nameless now.
Every year
everything
I have ever learned
in my lifetime
leads back to this: the fires
and the black river of loss
whose other side
is salvation,
whose meaning
none of us will ever know.
To live in this world
you must be able
to do three things:
to love what is mortal;
to hold it
against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go.

This photo was taken at Guri Hangang Civic Park on May 6, 2024. At that time, water lilies were just starting to bloom and looked so beautiful.
I pray that those of you who read my writing to the end will be filled with good luck today. 🙏🙏
