   【岁末壁炉边小叙】

 

            文/天朝玉

 

我将内心的欢愉与寂寥

编织在一起

用字打成一个个绳结 

与你的连在一起 

我们便有了日月经纬 

有了一座风雨朝夕的心城 

里面住着比现实更真实的你

比现实更真实的我

 

硕大苍茫的世界

我们仿佛是

两个漂游在大海里的分子

相遇是千万分之一的可能

我们竟然中了头彩

除了感恩与庆幸

还能期望什么呢

 

有些人每天都在交流  

却听不到对方的一句心声

我们在字里对话 

每个字都叩击着心灵的琴键 

是的 你不能抚摸我的手 我的脸

可你字里行间的柔情

触动着我的心

 

 

     

【Fireside Chat at Year End】

 

            By Tian Chao Yu

 

I knit my inner joy and loneliness together

tie them into knots with words 

with your knots connected with mine, we then 

have the sun and the moon, latitude and longitude

we have a city of hearts, with wind and rain

day and night, inside live you and me

more truthful than reality 

 

Similar soul and energy

in this vast world

as if two molecules drifting in the sea

such an encounter is a ten-millionth probability 

however, we hit the jackpot 

feeling thankful and lucky 

how could we expect anything else?

 

Some people communicate everyday

but couldn’t hear the voice from one’s heart

we may only talk in words

but every word taps on the keyboard of a soul

Yes, you could not touch my face and my hand

your tenderness between the lines 

touches my heart
