지극히낮은자의지극히높은노래·····104

신성이사라진우리시대는어둠이짙게작동하는위기에직면해있다.시대의구원을열망하는절대적신성뿐만아니라,공동체적연민과희망의빛이사라졌기때문이다.정치도빛을잃었고,희망도,분노도,시도광채를잃어버린안타까운현실앞에우리의슬픔은더욱무겁게느껴진다.이러한빛이희미해진우리세상과,시의안과밖에희망의작은빛을노래하고자는하는김윤환의시집〈바닥에두고온얼굴〉은더욱낮은존재의소망과희망의신성을지니고있어소중하다.그의신성은높은천상의하늘이아니라지하도의하늘이며,절대적신성이아니라,낮은무릎아래얼굴을대는신성을품고있기때문이다.이는소외와궁핍한서사들의많은시들이더욱빛의연대를은혜롭게소망하고있는증언들로믿음의빛을함께나누고있기에진실하다.광활한바다위에서바다가바다가아니라는생명의기쁨과영광을반어적으로부정하는그의믿음에는만유의생명을'홍화'의빛으로세상을물들게하는무지개가일어서는신성을바라보는게나만의은혜일까.

그의시를읽는일은한시인의작품세계를만나는경험에만머물지않는다.그것은낮은곳을향해내려가는사랑의언어를배우는일이자,신앙과문학이서로를배반하지않은채하나의생명과하나의사랑을향해공명할수있음을발견하는일이기도하다.그리고그공명의끝에서우리는다시노래를듣게된다.“바닥에두고온얼굴”들의노래,잊힌이름들의노래,서로의슬픔을끌어안으며살아남은존재들의노래를말이다.어쩌면김윤환의시가오래도록우리곁에머무는이유도거기에있을것이다.
그의시세계에서신앙은문학을억압하지않고,문학역시신앙을훼손하지않는다.두개의언어와두개의믿음은서로를침범하거나지우는대신,긴밀히교차하고공명하며서로의효과를증폭시킨다.시인이자성직자로서그는인간적결핍을인정하고보완하며하나의진실을향해균형있게나아간다.그리고그진실의포괄적인이름을나는‘사랑’이라부르고싶다.특히소외된타자를향한그의시선은신앙적사랑과소명의식안에서마주하기에,추상적관념이나시혜적태도에머물지않고생생하게살아숨쉬는윤리로체현된다.그리하여그의시를읽는일은신의언어와시의언어가서로를배교(背敎)하지않고어떻게공존할수있는지,어둠속에서어떻게아름답게양립하며빛을발하는지목격하는귀한사건이된다.
