心烦意躁的小恶魔
即刻变成

Your Gentle Smile

only your gentle smile
the world suddenly became silent
time stands still for a moment
peripheral vision abruptly becomes blurry
the universe belongs only to you and me
the air reverberates with heartwarming vibes
my inner being overflowing with fulfilment

only your gentle smile
your arrogance and unreasonableness
messing around
makes one gnash one’s teeth
beats one’s chest and feet, tears one’s hair off
overbearing and incapable of reasoning with
all these can be passed over

only your gentle smile
from the moment you were born
eyes twinkling and smiling
snuggling up in my arms
babbling your baby talk
I fell deeply in love with you
unable to pull away

only your gentle smile
how many times you have been naughty
making trouble and vexatious
breakfast strewn all over the floor
wailing and causing anxiety and distress
climbing high, jumping up and down the stairs causing a scare
I can embrace it all

only your gentle smile
so frustrating a moment ago
an anxiety causing gut wrenching little naughty boy
a mischievous little elf that upsets my peace
an annoying little devil
instantly transforms into
the most perfect angel in the world

Mount Fuji

Mount Fuji
rising high above the clouds proudly in the firmament (ie the heavens or sky)
sitting in command of the myriad peaks and guarding the lakes and rivers
majestic and magnificent
marvelous scenery, breathtaking beauty
spectacular
be enlightened with perfection of the immovable

majestic mountain peak
the morning glow lit across half the sky
sunset is like a tapestry reflected in the water
quiet, refreshing and pleasant
whatever changes and unpredictability
the alternation of sun and moon
be aware of the unwavering stability

kawaguchiko
cherry blossoms covers the mountain slopes like blankets of snow
maple leaves and autumn colours are reflection of red in the eyes
spring flowers and autumn moon
changing of seasons
adding a unique charm
the joy of relishing the beautiful scenery of mountains and lakes

lenticular cloud
like a flying saucer floating in the sky waltzing to celestial melody
mysterious like a fairy in a painting
what a nature’s masterpiece
vast universe
boundless sky and star constellation
wishing for the spirit to roam freely the realms of heaven and earth

绿水百转一汪洋
阳光倒影
更似黄金铺道

朝阳

峰峰重叠遥无际
晨曦朝霞一片天
多神奇美妙的
黄金时刻

求真善美
阳光普照下
没假象没邪恶没瑕疵
返璞归真，上善则美
菩提心镜圆慧根
无生无灭方永恒

缘分长河偶相遇
尘世巧合时聚离
日照心净悟
参透生死轮回

Watching the Sunrise Again

sunrise
never tire of watching
endless appreciation of natural beauty
the soul tour like an immortal up in the clouds
elevating the state of mind again and again
very uplifting

Sanya City
facing the South Sea with mountains behind
thousand mountains picturesque with half sun rising through
green water make hundred turns into one vast ocean
sunlight reflection on the water
like a path paved in gold

morning sun
radiant and brilliant
peaks overlap endlessly into the distance
the sky is a slate of morning glow
how magical and wonderful
this golden hour

seek truth, goodness and beauty
beneath the bright sun
no illusion, no evil, no flaws
return to simplicity and truth, goodness is beauty
bodhi heart clear as mirror，completes the root of wisdom
eternity is without birth or death

causal loop
laws of the universe
meeting by chance in the long river of fate
come together and apart in worldly existence by coincidence
sunlight purifies the heart and enlightens the mind
to comprehend thoroughly the cycle of life and death

落日- (忆亡友(二))

三亚湾
一人慢酌黄昏时刻

南海泛舟半斜阳

晚风拂面
联想二人同步椰梦长廊
晚霞似锦
绚丽多彩
感岁月如梭
守不住挽不回
听海浪拍岸无止休

观日落
自地平线滑下
试着拥抱阳光
却握不住你的美好
留不下你的光辉
光明丢失了
黑暗蔓延全汪洋

暮色朦胧
记忆迷蒙
忘不了你的祝福
记不起你的颜容
意念在净化
心镜在升华
知般诺心灵有慧光

Sunset – Remembering a Departed Friend

Sanya Bay
alone slowly sipping wine savour the sunset moments
the sky edge is a deep blue
water and sky blend into one
coconut groves silhouette the setting sun
flocks of geese chase the sunset glow
boat in the south sea framed by setting half sun

evening breeze brushes against the face
associate the thought of us walking together along the coconut dream corridor
the clouds in sunset glow resemble a tapestry
colourful and dazzling
realise time slipping by swiftly like through a comb
unable to hold on, unable to bring back
listen to the waves lapping the shore incessantly

watching the setting sun
slipping below the horizon
attempt to embrace the sunlight
but unable to grasp on to your beauty
unable to hold on to your radiance
light is lost
darkness spreads across the entire vast ocean.

hazy in the twilight
memory in a fog
cannot forget your blessings
cannot recall your face
thoughts are purifying
the mirror of the heart is elevating
knowing that enlightenment has given light of wisdom to the soul

Note:coconut dream corridor-an attraction on Sanya Bay

真善美

歪曲事实
否定真相
假信息泛滥
意识形态叙事视角
来主宰替代事实
在后真相社会
真
还存在吗？

厚德载物
大爱无痕
指导人丢弃
偏见恐惧仇恨
提高人性
内心灵魂的
善
能找回初心?

听鸟语闻花香
坐观日出晚霞
大海山岳川河丛林
琴棋书画
歌魂诗韵
外界和内在的
美
会使人性升华?

贪嗔痴慢疑
埋葬了真善美
平日爱人惜物
满口仁义道德
却无睹种族灭绝
伤天害理的杀戮
慧心
可拯救人类吗?

Truth, goodness, beauty

distorting facts
denying truth
rampant fake news
ideological narrative
to decide what is truth and to replace facts
in such a post-truth society
truth
can still exist?

virtue carries the world
true, selfless love is not boastful or seeking recognition
guiding humanity to discard
prejudice, fear, and hatred
elevating human nature,
heart and soul’s
goodness
can it rediscover the original heart?

listen to the birds singing, smell the fragrance of flowers
sitting down to watch the rising sun, evening glow
oceans, mountains, rivers, forests,
music, Go, calligraphy, painting
soulful songs, poetic rhythms
both the outer and inner worlds’
beauty
does it elevate human nature?

greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, doubt
buried truth, goodness, beauty
on an ordinary day loving others and cherishing things
moralizing about benevolence and righteousness
yet turning a blind eye to genocide,
senseless slaughter against nature and reason
wisdom
can it save humanity?

Dakigaeri Gorge

autumn hues blanket the wilderness under the morning sun
a mysteriously enchanting scene
truly captivating
online influencers did not always hype

narrow mountain paths
as the name suggests
in the past, folks crossing each other on the narrow path
embraced in order to pass by
reflection on life in ancient times

tamagawa river
mystical and dreamlike
like a cobalt blue giant serpent
wandering about at Lake Tazawa
before exile to Kakunodate

the bridge of the Divine Rock,
an 80-meter red suspension bridge
spanning over the gorge
leaning against the bridge and gazing into the distance
the gorge is quiet, deep and charming

reflection waterfall 回顧の滝，
the secluded and hidden Three Caves,
clear waters reflect the blue skies，
lonely green pine guarding solitary rock，
indeed a land of purity for meditation and seeking enlightenment
