夕陽中的石象 - 詠星雲大師

 

The Stone Elephant in Sunset

 

A Poem to Master Hsing Yun

 

 

Stopped when    at the shore, and

became stone in solitude of walk, or

within sorrows of departure from the following crowd

So you are large    poised    and a little awkward

standing in the sunset

like a temple entrusted by an old old time

with its mirths and sufferings sealed tight

Or, in meditation like a cave,  allowing in

the sea songs and the golden silence of the sun,

the silvery muteness of the centuries to come 

indifferent to the weight you hold

forever pause at where Day and Night divide 

station between Death and Life, with

a worriless thought drapped 

and so you stand towards years infinitely assigned

And thus the ocean will rise to sink all shores

And ever dry lands will again tower towards the sky

Still you lean against the evening sun

loaded with heavy pearls from the deep sea 

- the crown offered by the lives in the water below

 

 

(改自一首舊作)
