[交流] The Nightfall

The sun was setting west. A gleaming gold reflecting on the window caught my eyes. So I went upstairs and stood on the roof, watching what was going on.
What a fabulous scene! The rosy evening clouds were swimming in the sky, floating with the gentle wind, constantly changing their gestures, fantastic in shapes and sizes. For one time, I stared at my scarecrow high there buried in mediation, but it disappeared in no time, never to be found. Maybe it would wait for me in the old place tomorrow, haha!
A brisk wind swept, bringing everything into life, which had been scorched under the burning sun all the day. The hill in the distance was cheering and the old well was singing, the bamboo thicket was dancing and the fluffy clouds were holding a party, a flight of joyful birds joined them, adding to the jubilation. There in the sky, the sun was greeting the moon. I guess this must be the sweetest time for Grandpa the Sun to meet Sister the Moon. Muhaha!
Look, my potted plants were also infected with the atmosphere. The thorny cactus became so green and gentle now, and my morning glories were in full blossom.
They were celebrating the day and welcoming the coming day. All these constituted such a tranquil and heart-breaking picture under the background of the sunset glow!
A rosy sunset indicates fine weather, so I will wait for my scarecrow the next day.

Just Beyond The Sunset  

      
  Just beyond the sunset
Someone waits for me
Just beyond the sunset
Lies my destiny
Where the purple mountains
Lie in deep tranquillity
There I’ll find the treasure
Of love eternally

Just beyond the sunset
Waits someone so fair
Just beyond the sunset
All alone they wait there
Their hair is golden
The colour of the sand
Their eyes sparkle in the night
Like diamonds in your hand

Just beyond the sunset
Lies a home for me
Where the world is peaceful
Like a paradise should be
Just beyond the sunset

Written - July or Aug 1966

Waiting For Nightfall  

  
  Lionesses waiting for nightfall...
Time slipping by... so slow...
Twilight beckons them, with its call,
Bidding them soon to go.
'Come, my ladies, our time draws near,
When yonder sun must part
And silver moon must then appear,
The midnight dance to start...
Enchantments wait in shadows still,
When spirits roam the land...
Yet none of these can share the thrill
Of what tonight has planned...
This evening's sky will say goodbye
And darkness rules once more...
Then silvered twinkling eyes will spy
The truth behind each roar!
Behold the night! The fearsome thing!
When Nature's secrets hide
And creatures that can bite and sting
Won't sleep until they've tried...
Come, my ladies, our time is close,
We hunt for food in pairs...
If not, we starve, death overthrows
And ends our night affairs...
Our solemn business soon begins...
Our partnership persists...
May God forgive us for our sins...
As long as each exists...'


The poem is based on the magnificent painting
by Stephen Gayford called 'Waiting For Nightfall'.

Sister Nightfall

Floating on the wings of a dream,
Like a dreary reality,
It's not what it may seem.
An angel can't be broken
When dropped from the heavens.
Though she can't speak
While choked by the words
From her preaching saviour.

And as she weeps,
The clouds gently darken
And the thunder rolls
Like her crystal tears,
Falling angelically on her lap.
Like water from a glass,
Her heart falls into her hands.
She holds it high,
Glistening like rubies
That fall like drops of water
Into a still, idyllic ocean.

The angel is a gem,
A precious,
And rare gem.
Alone for centuries
And crying for
The Touch.
She longs for hope,
And love.
She wishes for all a life brings.
But you see,
An angel can't fly
With broken wings.

The circumstance description is wonderful
Almost have the feeling than I am just at that condition
Everything there is quiet and harmonious
wish you find another grassman, not wait for that long
