十月雜詩

My friend M. had planned for several months to hike the John Muir Trail (JMT).  The date finally came and they were on road. But this summer the luck was not with the group, the had to quit after 10 days of backpacking on JMT. But M. is determined to hike the trail again next year, finished what she had left off.
THis poem is dedicated to her determination.

天暗風吹雨
驚雷破寂寥
此行功未滿
登頂意難拋

江河依舊在
青山入夢遙
來年誰報到
伴玫走一遭？

My friend X.  had lost his job and found another in Shanghai. I wrote this but never send it to anyone, almost forgot about it if I did not look over my evernote.

相見時難別亦難，
回歸故裏為糧錢。
安居有意定矽穀，
漂泊無心入滬關。

今天在芝加哥參加晚輩婚禮有感

其一
掌上明珠今完婚
才郎才女配成親
鴛鴦蝴蝶成雙對
天涯海角伴夫君

其二
偉威學堂初相識
兩小無猜共求知
慕君才高勝學霸
感妾共磋幾多時

其三
相邀好友與親朋
各路嘉賓會芝城
百年好合同見證
相伴春夏與秋冬

I went hiking with M&M, Bolinas trail in Marin County. Flat and beautiful, one of my favourite.
 

 

波利納斯步道長，
 紅杉秀木望海洋。
踏出林海是牧場，
唯見牛群不見羊。
雛菊鳶尾迎我笑，
拾花又見苦菜黃。
人間盛世少饑餒，
何須碌碌耕織忙。
