A Prayer for Korea

All those years ago. You were my life; you were my dream, 
you were my love, my dear Queen Seondeok,
an impossibility I know.

I dream of visiting impossible places and times every night,
a miracle raised from the ashes of war,    
and one people of Korea,

a wonder that stands, 
only minutes away from eternity,
every day.

My dear love, Queen Seondeok, please grant your wisdom,
to your people living in the North and the South,
and remind them, they are one family,

They are the family,
of the Kingdom of Joseon. 
The place my dreams are born.
