美在督促 (Exuberance)

美在督促

一

四月落雨五月開花
太平洋沿岸的北加州
老幼都常說的話
隻是東邊的高山還要等到六月
才會山花爛漫如詩如畫 

我期待重回山中
尋回一片顏色天成
這平靜祥和的夢
年複一年如期覺醒

二

大山隔絕雜音
會令往日的情景清晰
在一片祥和裏
回憶不再是件痛苦的事

三

抬起頭來吧，你已不是
那個九歲的弱冠少年
時光飛逝，那年
你驚訝於十萬個為什麽那本書
著筆北美太平洋沿岸一窄溜
海洋性氣候的地域
很多人將那一頁翻過去了
你卻將那一頁珍藏於記憶

四

加利福尼亞豐腴而又美麗
人們也許將她忽略了幾多世紀
甚至有人至今還在質疑她的品質
看哪，這個誘人的豐腴美女
輕易捕獲了男孩一顆單純的心
心一旦擁抱了美麗
愛情也會變得豐滿動人光豔無比

五

加利福尼亞是美人聚集之地
她們個個千姿百態展示自己
明媚的陽光勾勒迷人的風姿
我兩眼虔誠哪，羨慕
如此的笑容燦爛魅力無限
沒有一絲害羞的模樣
這裏是花兒盡情盛開的寶地

孩提時代尋找過花
可惜黃土地種滿了莊稼
年複一年的收割
隻留下滿目瘡痍

不會吧？鮮花不會隻在書本裏開放吧
連紙糊的燈籠都有
水仙花的英姿，唯妙唯肖
為什麽生活裏卻找不到一朵花的影子

六

加利福尼亞州是一片豐碩的唇
這是怎樣的魅力？
與大海那張大嘴相比，這唇的
秀美，可人，讓人不忍離去

美麗時時在督促
喚醒著愛人身心裏
那勃發的生機
豐碩之美就是這樣療傷於
來自黃土地的營養不良的孩子

七

生活向來公道
如果一個孩子失去了小土嶺
她會給孩子一座巨大的山脈
隻是這孩子必須懂事
懂得如何去擁抱這豐碩的美麗

Exuberance

1.

April showers bring May flowers
That’s a popular saying on the flat land
along the Pacific coast of California
In the High Sierras, June is the month
when wild flowers bloom all over the hills
I can’t wait to go back up into the mountains
to the places where colors are the most natural
and peace is the serenest. This has become
a dream that blooms in earnest year after year

2.

High mountains subdue noises thus
all the images of the past become clear
to make it less painful to remember

3.

Look up now, you are no longer
that frail boy of nine
Time has passed aplenty since that day
when you found in an encyclopedia
that a narrow strip along the Pacific in America
where the weather is heavily influenced by the ocean

It was a chapter ignored by many
But lingered in your mind forever

4.

California is such an immense beauty
The human world may have neglected her for centuries
Till today many people have questioned her character
All I know is that California this temptress
easily seduces an innocent boy to fall in love with her
When a heart is punctured by beauty
Love mushrooms to match her voluptuous beauty

5.

California attracts a great number beauties and they
present themselves in different shapes and forms
Bright sunshine outlines each of everyone well
I enjoy watching them one a time with my humble eyes
That’s when I discover that one can absolutely smile
and radiate of charm without feeling embarrassed
After all this is where flowers bloom to their fullest

When I was a child, I had a hard time
finding any flowers from the farmland
that had been exhausted from farming
over and over for centuries
For a while I thought flowers had only existed in books
But, wait, even the paper lanterns handed to us
had this marvelous shape of Hyacinths
Still it was hard to find real flowers in life

6.

California appears in a luscious lip
One had no idea that a lip could be this voluptuous
Still in comparison to the ocean, the wide mouth
the lip is cute, adorable and full of allure

Yes, beauty could become a challenge
demanding exuberance
from the body and soul of her lover
This is how the great beauty heals
a malnourished boy of the Yellow Earth

7.

Life has been fair
When a boy lost a hill
he is presented with
a huge range of mountains
on the condition that he behaves himself
and knows how to embrace the enormity
