Moments Of Summer–Blue bird

The cloudy sky shadows faintly
through the faded vine shelf
down to a dilapidated wooden table
on which an old book is open
with the fuzzy characters 
in the yellowed leaves,
like a dimmed doze in summer.
The cool breeze carrying a daydream
wafts in mid-air
like a swing.


A tweeting blue bird flitters over
the high bush and
hides soon
in the dense green shades,
like lightning and thunder which streak through 
my chaotic consciousness–
how to paint the vacant time ahead?
only to pray and wait 
for an answer.

夏日碎影——蓝鸟

多云的天空
透过褪色的藤架
投下些微影在

满目苍夷的书桌。
一本旧书摊开，
泛黄的页面上
字迹模糊，
象一个夏日的迷盹。
微飔托着白日梦，
秋千一样
半空中荡漾。

一只蓝鸟鸣叫着
掠过高高的灌木丛，
隐没进
浓密的绿荫，
象闪电和雷声划过
我混沌的意识——
该如何描绘
以后的空白时光？
惟有祈祷和等待
一个答案。
