美在督促 (Exuberance)

美在督促

一

四月落雨五月开花
太平洋沿岸的北加州
老幼都常说的话
只是东边的高山还要等到六月
才会山花烂漫如诗如画 

我期待重回山中
寻回一片颜色天成
这平静祥和的梦
年复一年如期觉醒

二

大山隔绝杂音
会令往日的情景清晰
在一片祥和里
回忆不再是件痛苦的事

三

抬起头来吧，你已不是
那个九岁的弱冠少年
时光飞逝，那年
你惊讶于十万个为什么那本书
着笔北美太平洋沿岸一窄溜
海洋性气候的地域
很多人将那一页翻过去了
你却将那一页珍藏于记忆

四

加利福尼亚丰腴而又美丽
人们也许将她忽略了几多世纪
甚至有人至今还在质疑她的品质
看哪，这个诱人的丰腴美女
轻易捕获了男孩一颗单纯的心
心一旦拥抱了美丽
爱情也会变得丰满动人光艳无比

五

加利福尼亚是美人聚集之地
她们个个千姿百态展示自己
明媚的阳光勾勒迷人的风姿
我两眼虔诚哪，羡慕
如此的笑容灿烂魅力无限
没有一丝害羞的模样
这里是花儿尽情盛开的宝地

孩提时代寻找过花
可惜黄土地种满了庄稼
年复一年的收割
只留下满目疮痍

不会吧？鲜花不会只在书本里开放吧
连纸糊的灯笼都有
水仙花的英姿，唯妙唯肖
为什么生活里却找不到一朵花的影子

六

加利福尼亚州是一片丰硕的唇
这是怎样的魅力？
与大海那张大嘴相比，这唇的
秀美，可人，让人不忍离去

美丽时时在督促
唤醒着爱人身心里
那勃发的生机
丰硕之美就是这样疗伤于
来自黄土地的营养不良的孩子

七

生活向来公道
如果一个孩子失去了小土岭
她会给孩子一座巨大的山脉
只是这孩子必须懂事
懂得如何去拥抱这丰硕的美丽

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
