屋檐下正在融化的冰柱之二 Melting Icicle on the Eaves II

屋檐下倒悬的条条冰柱
好似牢房里阴森森的栅栏
锁死了房子里热爱自由的灵魂

看到救星般的温暖太阳出现
房子作为那些自由灵魂的保护人
忍不住热泪纵横

《就当》 Just Take It As

就当我们从来未曾相识过，
就当什么事情也没有发生，
就当是大梦一场后在迷糊中缓缓醒来，
就当是刚刚看完一场情节感人的电影，
就当雨后的天边从来没有出现过绚丽的彩虹，
就当蓝色的天空里从来没有飘过淡淡的浮云，
就当没有诗歌，
就当没有激情。

可是，
我脑海里时隐时现的婀娜身影，
我耳旁常回荡着的低语浅笑声，
内心深处那条随着心脏一起跳动的伤痕，
还有那挥之不去抹之不掉的一阵阵心疼，

是不是
就此会伴随我的余生？

To Remind You of Me by Wang Wei

In the south the red berries grow,
When it's springtime,
On the branches there might be a few.

Take with you as much as you could,
To remind you of me,
For it most likely would.

《相思》

红豆生南国，春来发几枝？
愿君多采撷，此物最相思。

Deer Park By Wang Wei

No one in the open mountain it seems,
Yet somehow many voices resound.
Deep into the forest penetrate the gleams,
And on the green mosses bounce around.

王维：《鹿柴》

空山不见人，但闻人语响。
返景入深林，复照青苔上。

THIS IS NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT

Get mad with each other
and fight all the time.

No, this is not
what this is all about!

Life is a continuous struggle
in the process to reach peaceful rest.

But once you reach it,
the life you have come to an end.

To live a life, it has to be restless,
on and on goes this struggle.

That’s why Buddha, thousands years ago,
proclaimed life is suffering.

Without sufferings,
life does not exist.

The process of suffering is the only path
to heaven.

What’s important is not what you gain
or lose in the process,

but where
it leads you to.
