【七律】歲末印象(一)
小城整日霧嵐中,怎曉光陰緩或匆。
心願不隨新歲到,久寒還與舊年同。
瓊花夜夜登穹頂,皓首天天映浩空。
慢走疾行皆勝處,何須詩裏覓從容。
Impression, End of Year (Poem 1)
My small town is in
the fog all day long.
How do I know whether
time's light and shadow
is moving fast or slow?
The things I wished for
ain't going to come
with the new year.
The long cold, as usual,
is going to stay here.
Snowflakes visit the high dome,
descend on my roof,
even on my head,
night after night.
Day after day, the white head
reflects the vast sky.
No matter I walk slow or fast,
Nature always presents
the same beauty to me.
There's no need to dig
in poetry for calmness
if I just let it be.
