冬游风之角
文/顾仁

 ——七律一首，仄起首句押韵，押《平水韵》上平一东部

 

时维乙巳岁冬，耶诞之期，欲避尘嚣，携眷游亚利桑那图森郊外风之角。其地山骨崚嶒，长风万古，凛冽而不侵肌骨。深谷之中，巨人柱迹杳，惟松柏苍然，错落擎天。时冬日悬辉，半轮寒月却挂东隅，阴阳相映，恍若出尘。归来有慨，因缀数语，以记其行。

 

独照冬阳绝壁风，碧空千里半轮东。

仙踪渐隐云峰外，松柏长留翠谷中。

偶见浮云悬碧落，时闻灵鸟破幽蒙。

莫忧俗尘侵净境，自有回响荡吾胸。

 

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.
