The road, I go alone
Ingee Kim
There is a road
I must go along, until sundown
Even if I have to go alone.
The road, I have to go
Whether in loneliness, or in fear.
The road, I have to go
Whether in heat, or in thirst.
The road, I have to go
Whether in harsh rain, or a snowstorm.
Despite the distance and the harshness,
Despite the difficulties and the sufferings,
There is a road, I have to go along by all means.
There is a quiet village of relief
On the foot of the mountain of eternity,
Which would welcome the tired footstep of the long journey.
That is the road that I have to go along, until sundown
Even if I go alone.
홀로 가는 길
김 인기
해 저물 때까지
혼자서라도 가야만 하는
길이 있습니다.
외롭고 두렵다 하여도
가야만 하는 길
무더위 목마름 있다 하여도
가야만 하는 길
멀고 험하다 하여도
힘들고 고되다 하여도
기어이 가야만 하는 길이 있습니다.
영원의 산 기슭에는
먼 길에 지친 발걸음 반겨줄
조용한 안식의 마을이 있어
해 저물 때까지
혼자서라도 가야만 하는 길이 있습니다.
The Road I Go, Alone
Ingee Kim's Poem of Quiet Strength
Jul 05, 2025
Going Alone
Last week I had the pleasure of representing Forest Woods Media Productions at the celebration of the anthology, Songs in a Second Language at the DC Arts Club. I concluded my discussion of my role as book manager with a reading of one of the poems from the book, Ingee Kim’s, The Road, I Go Alone.
Reading Ingee’s poem inspired me to create a video poem of the work. Poems are, firstly, scripts for a performance. That’s the way they’ve been in the West since Homer. Like the ancients, today we can add music, in this case a solo trumpet with cinematic backing. For visuals, I added a stock footage montage.
I hope you enjoy my experimentation with these short videos in Everyday Poet. For me, it’s a way of heightening the emotional intensity of a poem.
