生命的邀約
其實 也沒有什麼
好擔心的
我答應你 霧散盡之後
我就啟程
穿過種滿了新茶與相思的
山徑之後 我知道
前路將經由芒草萋萋的坡壁
直向峰頂 就像我知道
生命必須由豐美走向凋零
所以 如果我在這多霧的轉角
稍稍遲疑 或者偶爾寫些
有關愛戀的詩句
其實也沒有什麼好擔心的
生命中有些邀約不容忘記
我已經答應了你 只等
只等這霧散盡剎那

Invitation of Life
Really there is not much
To worry about
I promise you when the fog clears for good
I shall go
of each other I know
the trail will pass from the hill wall overgrown
with tips of grass
towards the peak the way I know
That life must pass from bountiful
beauty to wilting waste
So if at the fog filled turning
I tardy a little or per chance write
a few lines of poetry about love
Really there is not much to worry
about
There’re some invitations in life which can’t be forgotten
I already promised you I’m just waiting
Waiting for the moment the fog clears for good.

生命就好像一條河流，無論中途多波折、多風光，到了盡頭總要流出大海，無法抗拒。
回覆刪除[版主回覆07/06/2012 13:31:30]We know that intellectually, but when the moment of decision comes, we find that it is so difficult to accept the "bitter truth", and the cold, hard, impersonal, relentless reality and somehow feel so reluctant to relinquish what has given us so much joy, what has given us so much pleasure in the immediate past.
人生歷程際遇各有不同、但方向都是相同的。謝謝分享。祝週末愉快。
回覆刪除[版主回覆07/06/2012 15:53:42]Yes, as an economist once said, "In the long run, we shall all die". What is important is not that we die. After all, after death, we won't be able to feel anything any more. Far more important is what we do with our lives before we see the world no more. What we do with such talents, such energy, such education, such experiences as we may have: whether we have squandered them or frittered them away "doing little" or "nothing" or whether we have made good use of such of the resources as may be available to us in the multifarious and ultimately unpredictable contexts which life throws us into, to make others a little happier or at least a little less unhappy in such ways as circumstances and the vagaries of our strength and our wills may permit.
You have an enjoyable weekend too!
