【七律】岁末印象(一)
小城整日雾岚中,怎晓光阴缓或匆。
心愿不随新岁到,久寒还与旧年同。
琼花夜夜登穹顶,皓首天天映浩空。
慢走疾行皆胜处,何须诗里觅从容。
Impression, End of Year (Poem 1)
My small town is in
the fog all day long.
How do I know whether
time's light and shadow
is moving fast or slow?
The things I wished for
ain't going to come
with the new year.
The long cold, as usual,
is going to stay here.
Snowflakes visit the high dome,
descend on my roof,
even on my head,
night after night.
Day after day, the white head
reflects the vast sky.
No matter I walk slow or fast,
Nature always presents
the same beauty to me.
There's no need to dig
in poetry for calmness
if I just let it be.
