Briers  


    Briers



          Hyangji LEE


     I planted roses but brier flowers bloomed. Instead of big yellow roses, I see brier flowers. Following a cloud of tiny but fragrant white flowers, I find myself in a valley where the sun rises late. The valley is narrow, but the sound of the water is cheerful. Small stones in the clear and bright water. The silver fish are not afraid of my shadow. There is even the long-forgotten dance of a damselfly. The briers stretch out their hands beside a small pool. In this valley, I am shorter than the briers. I raise my heels from the ground to seize a brier stem with its tempting flowers, and place it on my head like a crown. A rain of golden pollen soaks into my soul. My fingers are pricked by the brier thorns and blood spurts out, but my curiosity for the novelty is greater than the pain. Holding the brier branch, I look down into the pool. Into the water like a mirror. A girl wearing a crown of pure white brier flowers is smiling innocently. The crown of brier flowers that I was so eager to wear just once. I look at the girl and nod my head softly. Each time I nod my head, a rain of golden pollen falls into the pool. I can't stay long in the valley where the sun rises late. In order to come back, I hastily release the brier branch. The springing brier branch swings surprisingly far. Brier flowers fall down. All at once, a cloud of white butterflies flying up!
