Strolling Among Wild Geese

 

Strolling among wild geese,

I asked them: “Where're you from?

Where're you going?”

They looked at me as if I were

a guard at some entrance

or a philosopher.

 

Instead of answering my questions

directly, they said:

“We have flown through thick fog

in thousands of mountains,

and we've ridden ten thousand

leagues of cold wind.

Just beneath the white clouds is

where our hearts want to be.

We want to sing in

the music hall of the universe.”

 

“But will this often wind-tossed

flight ever end?” I asked.

 

“We don't want no end of it.

Although hard at times,

journeying makes us happy.

We always know know know,

We will go go go.

Joy of journey outweighs its toil.

It brings our blood to a boil.”

【五律】漫步雁群裏

 

漫步雁群裏,殷勤問始終。

千山穿鬱霧,萬裏馭悲風。

心係白雲下,聲傳寰宇中。

飄飄何日盡?苦旅意無窮。
