冬遊風之角

冬遊風之角
文/顧仁

七律一首，仄起首句押韻，押《平水韻》上平一東部

時維乙巳歲冬，耶誕之期，欲避塵囂，攜眷遊亞利桑那圖森郊外風之角。其地山骨崚嶒，長風萬古，凜冽而不侵肌骨。深穀之中，巨人柱跡杳，惟鬆柏蒼然，錯落擎天。時冬日懸輝，半輪寒月卻掛東隅，陰陽相映，恍若出塵。歸來有慨，因綴數語，以記其行。

獨照冬陽絕壁風，碧空千裏半輪東。
仙蹤漸隱雲峰外，鬆柏長留翠穀中。
偶見浮雲懸碧落，時聞靈鳥破幽蒙。
莫憂俗塵侵淨境，自有回響蕩吾胸。

 

Winter Journey to Windy Point
by Vincent Wen

In the winter of 2025, around Christmas, I traveled with my family to Windy Point Lookout above Tucson. The cliffs rose in bare, weathered rock, and the wind was sharp but not cold. The sun and a pale half-moon were both visible in the sky. These lines record that day.

The winter sun struck ancient cliffs upon;
High in the open sky, the half-moon shone.
Where saguaros thinned along the rising stone,
The pines endured beside the cliffs alone.
At times a wandering cloud stood high and lone,
And once a bird broke through the shadowed zone.
Let not life's burdens follow where I've gone;
The valley's echo keeps my spirit on.
