Feelings of a Night during Travel
Calligraphy F1753
微風吹拂著岸上的細草
一波波地起伏著
夜裡卸了帆 只餘高高的桅杆
一葉扁舟在水面搖晃著
平野開闊 一望無際
天邊的星星閃閃 垂接地面
大江奔流 波濤洶湧
月在江流中閃亮 忽起忽沒
名聲豈能因為擅於寫作而顯著?
公家的職責隨著老病的侵襲也該卸下了
東飄西泊的身世又像甚麼呢?
在天地間漫漫翔遊的一隻沙鷗!
二○○九年元月廿一日
養和齋 於加州
Gentle breezes were caressing fine grasses on banks
Waving up and down, again and again
At night sails were down, only the tall mast remained standing
This flat boat like a leaf swaying on water
Plain fields open wide, no boundary as far as eyes could see
Stars twinkled near the edge of sky, lowering to touch the earth
Great river flew dashingly, waves turbulent and wild
Moon glittered in currents, suddenly rose and suddenly sank
How could fame become prominent due to mastery in writing
Official duties, as senility and sickness besieging, should be resigned
This life of floating here and there, what could it be like
A sand gull gliding aimlessly between heaven and earth
