旧梦随风

银杏挥扇舞千枝；
一阵风，
卷起金翼翩翩，
染土画卷——
秋意浓。

丹霞梦回枫满林；
酒醒时，
瞳映枫叶盈盈，
醉了诗篇——
忆残红。

大雁南飞望乡途；
半天浮云，
遮不断昼夜的盘念，
回家的路——
归心切。

芳菲秋别冬将至；
风静后，
落叶不言来去，
旧梦随风——
几回重。

注笔：

1 第一段｜视觉之美：秋意初起

“挥扇”：银杏的叶，如一把小扇。拟人自然，既写形，也带出风的节奏。

“舞千枝 / 金翼翩翩”：动感充沛，画面灿烂，却不浮艳，保留了秋的清朗。

“染土画卷”：落点极妙，把空中的流动之美，安放到大地之上。

这一段不是“看秋”，而是秋主动展开自身。

2 第二段｜梦与醉：由景入心

“丹霞梦回”：梦中回望往昔的秋色美景。

“酒醒时/瞳映枫叶盈盈”：酒已醒，余醉未散；旧梦仍在，枫林之色尚映于瞳。

这一段完成了从外在之美 → 内在记忆的转折。

3 第三段｜思乡：情感的重量

大雁：候鸟南飞，秋之所向，亦是思乡与返乡的象征。

“遮不断昼夜的盘念”：
半天浮云，也无法遮断心中昼夜反复缠绕的思乡之念。

这一段把“旧梦”，
从个人的回忆，推向人之共同的情感经验。

4 第四段｜放下与回返

“芳菲”：指曾经盛放过的美好时刻——不论是情感、人生，还是繁华本身。

“不言来去”：并非不知去留，而是不执于去留；看见发生，却不再追问结果。

“几回重”：并非否认情绪的反复，而是承认——记忆会回返，旧梦会再临；不抗拒，也不迎合，这正是贴近真实的人生智慧。

这一段里，没有劝慰，也没有结论，
只有一种姿态——
看见、接受，随风而行，随缘而安。

旧梦随风 Old Dreams Drift with the Wind

Ginkgo fans the wind, a thousand branches dance;
A sudden breeze,
lifts golden wings in flutter,
brushing the earth like a painted scroll—
autumn deepens.

Returning in scarlet dreams through the maple-filled forest;
when intoxication fades,
crimson leaves quiver in the eye’s reflections,
drunken on the verses—
recalling lingering red.

Wild geese fly south, gazing homeward;
half the sky drifts with clouds,
yet clouds cannot still the heart’s restless thoughts, day and night
the path back home—
a heart longs to return.

Youth and beauty bid farewell to autumn as winter nears;
after the wind has stilled,
fallen leaves speak no word of coming or going,
old dreams drift with the wind,
even as they return in echoes.

Notes:

1｜First Section｜Visual Beauty: Autumn Unfolding

“Fans the wind”: The ginkgo leaves resemble small fans. The personification is natural, capturing both form and the rhythm of the wind.

“A thousand branches dance / golden wings flutter”: Full of motion, the imagery is brilliant yet restrained, preserving the crisp clarity of autumn.

“brushing the earth like a painted scroll”: The landing point is exquisite, grounding the ephemeral beauty of the sky onto the earth.

This section is not merely observing autumn, but autumn actively unfolding itself.

---

2｜Second Section｜Dream and Intoxication: From Scene to Heart

“Returning in scarlet dreams”: In the dream, one looks back and recalls the autumn colours ie beauty of the past.

“as intoxication fades, crimson leaves quiver in the eye’s reflections: Though awake, the residue of intoxication remains; the old dream persists, and the colors of the maple forest are still mirrored in the eyes.

This section completes the transition from external beauty → internal memory.

---

3｜Third Section｜Homesickness: The Weight of Emotion

Wild geese: Southbound migratory birds, in autumn season, symbolizing both homesickness and the journey home.

“yet clouds cannot still the heart’s restless thoughts, day and night”: Even half a sky of drifting clouds cannot shield the heart from the ceaseless, tangled thoughts of homesickness.

This section extends the “old dream”
from personal memory to a shared human emotional experience.

---

4｜Fourth Section｜Letting Go and Returning

“Blossoms of the past” (芳菲): Refers to moments of past flourishing—whether in emotion, life, or worldly prosperity.

“Not speaking of coming or going”: This is not ignorance of what comes or goes, but non-attachment; one sees events unfold without questioning or clinging to outcomes.

“even as they return in echoes” (几回重): This does not deny the recurrence of emotion, but acknowledges it—memories return, old dreams revisit; neither resisting nor indulging, this reflects a wisdom attuned to the realities of life.

In this section, there is no moralizing, no conclusion,
only an attitude:
See, accept, move with the wind, and follow fate with ease.
