Strolling along the riverbank
through a lush urban ravine,
as the clamour of streets and engines,
and the city’s white noise falls away,
I step into uncharted interior terrain,
seeking the great unknown.
A gentle breeze moves through the cottonwoods,
sending silky seed-tufts
dancing into the air—
filling the sky with shimmering stars,
carpeting the earth
like a fresh fall of snow.
A gleam captures my eye—
a tender shoot lifts from shadow
on dreaming ground.
I pause to listen to the wilderness,
entranced by the silent spring
of revelation,
without fanfare,
without declaration.
In that moment,
I catch a glimpse
of the great mystery—
but not
as I imagined.
大奧祕
我沿著小河,
慢慢走進
一脈蒼翠的溪谷。
街聲、車聲、市聲,
在身後一點一點淡去。
我彷彿也走入
一片從未踏足的內境,
去尋那不可名狀的大奧祕。
微風拂過白楊,
棉絮忽然揚起,
在空中旋成細碎的星光,
又輕輕落下,鋪滿大地,
像下了一場不合時令的雪。
忽然,一道微光
映入眼簾。
一株嫩芽
從沉睡的暗土中
悄悄探出身來。
我停下腳步,
聆聽荒野的呼吸。
有一種啟示
靜靜湧現,
沒有張揚,
也不作聲。
在那一瞬間,
我彷彿瞥見了
那深不可測的大奧祕,
卻不是
我原以為的形相。
