Calm . . . Come!

 

 

I am not trying to summon

all the ghosts and angels

hidden in this body, or each

sound of violence or

the tender fathering

stored in this union of senses

carrying me around

from places to unknown places

 

Overwhelming is the moment

when I recall countless

deaths and small silences

like kingdoms coming

and going without traces

 

With all my senses open

I close my eyes to let in light

to kiss my enemy and my beloved

to caress the beast & let

the birds return in pairs at dusk

to nurse old and new wounds

to make myself invisible

in each transient dream

to protest against nothing

at this precious moment

to acknowledge every

existence in the fragrance

to see the stars slowly heal

to wait for the ocean

finally calm . . .

Come!

平息。。。呈現！

我不是試圖召喚
藏在身體裏
所有的魂魄與神靈，或者
每一個或熱烈
或柔如父愛的聲音
蘊藏在所有感覺的融合裏
載著我輾轉
於未知的世界

震撼的是那一刻：
當我回想起
無數的死亡與微乎其微的沉寂
如浮世
來去無跡

敞開所有的感覺
我閉上眼睛讓光進來
親吻我的仇敵與摯愛
輕撫那頭狂獸 讓鳥兒
在暮色裏成雙歸返
去撫平新傷舊痕
令我消隱在
每個瞬息即逝的夢裏
在這珍貴的一刻
不再抗拒
認同芳香裏
每一個存在
注視星辰漸漸愈合
等待海洋
緩緩平息。。。
呈現
！

Not dissappointed if you don't like the movie or didn't watch the movie, as long as you like the song! :))

[知凡]

SD, 我很愛看電影，卻沒看過"Gladiator"，嗯，可能是那個男主角對我來說太沒有吸引力了:))))))

平靜…來臨！

我試著不喚起
藏於我身體裏
所有的天使幽靈，或是
每一個熱烈或溫柔的聲音
這些與生俱來的感覺存於一體
載著我從這裏那裏去向
無盡的未知之地

難以抑製的此刻
當我回想起數不盡的
死亡和微乎的靜寂
像是各種境界來來
去去不留蹤跡

敞開我所有的感覺
閉上眼睛讓光照進
來親吻我的敵人和我的摯愛
來愛撫野獸，讓
飛鳥於黃昏雙雙歸返
來照料新傷舊痕
來使自己無形
於每一個短暫的夢
來抗拒空然的虛無
在這珍貴的一刻
來認知芬芳裏
每一個存在
來看星星慢慢痊愈
來等待海洋
最終平靜…靜靜
來臨！
