* 연꽃*

                                                                          시, 최영화

                                       탁연(濁淵)이 정화되어

                                       꽃으로 화신했소

                                       가볍게 떠있음은

                                       깊은 자비 역설이오

                                       합장한 새색시 볼

                                       꽃잎을 물들이고

                                       알듯 모를듯

                                       꽃잎에 감도는

                                       관세음상 미소
