四季情

秋菊东篱窥南山
深夜凭栏，月入西厢
黄钟满树十月香
清晓微光，日出扶桑

冬日海棠点点红
凌霜屹立， 香腮轻弹
寒梅傲雪露中宵
一帘幽思，两地情长

春暖花开溢芬芳
杜鹃玉兰，桃红争光
樱花三月意还乡
一缕牵挂，两心荡漾

牡丹花瘦六月天
林里踏青，野鹤山中
湖泊绿肥柳成荫
雁字翱翔，闲云长空

天地川野立舟中
掌桨乘风顺水流
疑是途穷绝境路
峰回水转彼岸丰

Sentiments for Four Seasons

autumn chrysanthemums by the eastern fence peek at the southern hills
late at night standing by the railing, the moon graces the western chamber
Chinese golden bell tree in full bloom offering the fragrance of October
in the gentle light of dawn, the sun rises on Fusang

winter’s begonia dots the cold with crimson hues
standing erect against the frost, its fragrant cheeks lightly flush
plum blossoms brave the snow, exposed to the elements in the long night
one curtain filled with wistful thoughts, and enduring affection in two places

in the warmth of spring, blossoms overflow with fragrance
azaleas and magnolias, peach blossoms compete in splendor
cherry blossoms in March awaken a longing for home
one thread of care and devotion, and two hearts flutter

peonies fade, bringing forth the month of June
excursion in the woods, cranes roam free in the wild
lake brims with lush green, willows cast their shade
wild geese soar high in 《人》 letter formation, like leisurely clouds in a vast sky

standing on a boat amidst heaven and earth, rivers and the wilderness
with oars in hand, riding the wind and the current flows
what seems like a dead-end road of desperation
with a turn of the peaks and the riverbanks, reveal a far shore lush with abundance

Note:

Fusang – Fusang, mythical island in ancient literature, often interpreted as Japan

The Philosopher’s Path

the philosopher’s path
cherry blossom ambiance, elegant and romantic
streams, bridges, pathways, adorned with swaying flowers
petals float and sprinkle, a scenery of dreamlike beauty
life and passing springtime, beautiful and transient

fragrant path for cherry blossom viewing
wandering by the stream, contemplating by the bridge
weeping cherry, cold cherry, somei yoshino
light pink sea of flowers, vibrant and colorful
soft and drooping swaying, fragrance filling the air

excellent attractions
temples and gardens, sakura blooms lined like walls and tunnels
in front of Eikan-do, inside Nanzen-ji
Keage Incline, breathtaking vistas
elegant ambiance, like in a painting

flower-inspired musings
journey of time, intertwining of fate
fortuitous encounters, coming together and drifting apart
leisurely strolls, deep thoughts and reflections
exploring life, interpreting existence

hanami – cherry blossoms viewing adores the spring light
a thousand cherry trees in full bloom

swaying like singing in the wind
spring colors are infinitely beautiful
scenes of beauty are kept like treasures in the heart

somei yoshino cherry blossoms in full bloom
thousands of them at lower, middle, and upper senbon
in front of the Yoshimizu Shrine
a thousand stunning cherry blossoms in a single view
a mountain of flowers in pink
float and sprinkle like strolling in a poem recital
cool breeze quiver the flower petals
exquisite and colorful posture
a scene of spring breeze painting the woods
flowers lingering endearing the heart

hiking up to oku senbon
walking in the mountains in springtime
looking over a sea of flowers from the mountaintop
cherry blossoms dye a thousand trees red @ naka senbon
listening to the flower language in the deep mountains
heart in stillness is enlightened in Zen
cherish the present in spring dreams
true beauty connects with eternity
poetry, painting, wind, song, and dance
are all in the language of the flowers

Retirement

retirement, huh?
unemployed or unemployable
either way, it’s just being a jobless wanderer!

through the long years
with a leisurely mindset
sunrise and its brilliance
beautiful moments and scenery
green foliage and blue sky
bird singing and flower fragrance
brisk walk and morning exercises
slow gentle taiji

with a heart full of gratitude
relax and looking forward to welcome
every single day of life’s journey ahead

career path is tiring and tough
overcome obstacles and difficulties, and move ahead
strive in pursuit of dreams
see the fruits of hard work
completely absorbed in the path to success
but not forget family
in the worldly journey tally gains and losses
enjoy leisure in old age

after a lifetime of toil
it’s time to enjoy peace and tranquility
to delight in the little pleasure around us

successes and failures, gains and losses belong to yesterday
achievements and fame are fleeting
love is like spring, enduring and ever present
time passes and never returns
with a warm smile, observe life’s emotions and changes
worries disappear and the mind is at ease
chill, go with the flow, and free-spirited
contentment fills the tranquil and comfortable heart

西方《民主》

胜者为王
败者为寇
古来有之
历史为胜利者写
正史野史
史册的可信度
历史学者，考古学家
能准确的考据吗？

事实真相
是非黑白
终究水落石出
天网恢恢疏而不漏
华夏子孙的三观
理直气壮义正词严
在后真相社会
还能保留？

西方霸权
殖民地数百年种族歧视
剥削杀戮强抢豪夺
横行霸道无法无天
有历史见证
纵使黑白颠倒无耻双标
虚伪造假口是心非
焉能就替代事实？

西方《民主》
有型无实质
国会参议院议员各为己图
无民主意图无奉献精神
心中无民自然不得民心
什么低税涓滴效应？
就是既得利益饱私囊的戏场
国民无主，福利靠边站

对全球南方国家的对待
更是独裁专制恶霸行为
文化霸权,通过受控制的“自由“媒体
盲目意识形态洗脑
社会媒体Instagram tiktok 当前
皇帝终于赤裸现形，藏不住了！
丢了正义公义廉耻心
人性焉能不亡？

Western 《Democracy 》

winner takes all
loser becomes the bandit
it has been so since ancient times
history is written by the victors
official history and unofficial history
the credibility of historical records
historians, archaeologists
can they accurately authenticate?

facts and truths
right and wrong, black and white
ultimately, the truth will come out
the net of heaven is sparse but not leaky
the three views of the descendants of Huaxia 华夏
upright and bold, righteous and stern words
in a post truth society
can it still be preserved?

western hegemony
centuries of racial discrimination in colonies
exploitation, slaughter, plunder, and robbery
rampant tyranny without law or heaven
there is historical evidence
even if black and white are reversed with shameless double standards
hypocrisy, lies and deceit
how can they replace the facts?

Western “Democracy”
form without substance
Members of Congress and the Senate pursue their own self-interests
no democratic intention, no spirit of dedication and service
without the people in mind, naturally they don’t win the people’s hearts
what trickle-down effect of low taxes?
it’s just a game arena where vested interests line their pockets
there is no “for the people”, people’s needs are not addressed, welfare is sidelined

and treatment of countries in the Global South
even more tyrannical and dictatorial, behavior of a bully
cultural hegemony through controlled “free” press
blind ideological brainwashing
with social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok
the emperor is finally without clothes, appears naked, unable to hide anymore!
having lost the sense of justice, righteousness, and shame
how can humanity not perish?

The Journey of Life《Spring Summer Autumn》

that year
running by the lake
spring breeze gently brushing the face,
a reflection of the colour of peach blossoms
fondle the dawn glow
lean against the morning sun
boating leisurely on the water
brew tea in the peach garden

the green water twists and turns
the journey of life is long
summer brings many opportunities
the sunlight illuminates the future
body mind and ambition at its peak
and all things are achievable
with infinite sense of mission
having met all ambitions and achieved fulfilment

this evening
strolling by the water
drinking together by the lake and river
embracing the evening sun
maple leaves are our bedding
the evening glow our pillow
fishing for the moon in the lake
seeing the reflections of a couple

traveling the river of fate together in the same craft
hand in hand along the corridor of time
curate the experiences roaming the world with no wasted moments
enjoy the beautiful scenery of spring and autumn, in the journey of life
star constellation dancing slowly through a millennium nights
sharing the soul of songs and poetic rhymes on spring evening
fine wine, heartwarming and intoxicating through the long night
licking frost, drinking dew, through the myriad shared experiences, love becomes stronger

生命循环

狂风
紧追眷恋的浮云
泪洒江河告别
骤雨
搂抱滋润大地
献身彩虹

波涛
永无止休的起伏
前拥后挤推波助澜
浪花
朝夕抚摸细沙
千年一日静待海岸线转化

沧海
浩瀚无垠变化无常
真爱无限的包含
桑田
宁静稳定持久
永世无言的守护

候鸟
千里追寻温暖
筑巢孵卵
春草
新生命的滋长延续
绿化整片山野丛林

朝阳
万丈光辉普照四海
孕育万物生长

万顷温柔伴我入梦
修复滋生躯体灵魂

晨曦朝霞伴随远航

Cycle of Life

strong winds
long for and chase the drifting clouds
only part by shedding tears into the river
sudden rain
embraces and nurtures the earth
willingly offers itself to create a rainbow

waves
interminable undulations
pushing back to front amplifying the surge
wave spray droplets
caress the sand day and night
quietly waiting a millennium to a day the transformation of the coastline

vast sea
boundless and ever-changing
true love’s infinite inclusiveness in its embrace
mulberry fields
quiet, stable, enduring
silently standing guard for eternity

migratory birds
persevere flight of thousand miles in seek of warmth
building nests, hatching eggs
spring grass
the growth and continuation of new life
greening entire mountains and forests

morning sun
radiant light illuminates the entire land
nurturing and growing all things
bright moon
moonbeams of tenderness accompanying me into my dreams
restoring and nurturing the body and soul

edge of the sky
morning glow keeps one company for a distant journey
and await and welcome in the deep those returning
land’s end
vast and profound, the soul of the song is uninterrupted
a sustained melody that outlasts myriad mountains and seas

past and present
the passage of time, new replaces the old
the pursuit of truth, goodness, and beauty remains unchanged
time and space
stars dance, time passes
endearing human love transcends eternity

亲情

当年
只身在外
逢节倍思亲
守候家书要两周
没有谷歌汉语拼音
信也就写不上几行
电话更甭说了
除非家里出事了
都祈祷不会接到电话

父母
六旬也不怎么老
那时的人一生操劳没保养
十八离家，前一晚
一家人围在楼下大排档给我践行
也是最后一次见我爸
不到一年人就没了
幸得寒假回家见我妈
隔年人也没了

回国
走时还是paya lebar,回来已是changi机场
两老不在了
哥姐都结婚了
成长岁月里的世界
已是面目全非
爸妈去的早，欲养亲不在
那时也真是迟钝木纳
不懂得哀伤，只有迷茫遗憾

追忆童年的日子
嬷的念经拜佛求圣杯
爸的专制独裁咆哮
酬神节日从店里带回家
一年难得享用一次的鸡鸭猪肉
妈的哮喘病痛日夜呻吟
咸菜萝卜“糜”“饮”，清水煮沙尖鱼”忒” 鱼
远久的梦幻模糊淡化了
空灵如一缕轻烟

事隔数十载
汕头澄海的大哥也与世长辞了
大嫂侄女一家倒还不少联络通话
世间事
瞬息万变物换星移
潮起潮落春夏秋冬
孩子们也都有事业成家了
新一轮的宝贝小祖宗
见证生命的延续亲情的滋长传承

Family Bond

in those years
alone in a foreign land
every holiday intensified the longing for family
waiting for letters took two weeks
without Google Pinyin, can only write few lines of chinese letter
phone calls were even rarer, unless something happened at home
prayers were for not receiving that call

my parents
in their sixties not quite that old
folks then endure a lifetime of toil without much self-care
left home at eighteen, the day before
family gathered at a “zichar”food stall sending me off
that was the last time I saw my father
less than a year later, he was gone
fortunately, I returned and saw my mother during winter break
the next year, she was gone too

returning to the homeland
departed from Paya Lebar, returned to Changi Airport,
the two elders were no more
elder brother and sister were married
my world of growing up
is now completely changed
parents gone early, desires to care for them unmet
back then, I was truly wooden and numb
unexpressive of sorrow, only confusion and regrets

recalling childhood days
grandma chanting scriptures, praying for the fortune cup
father’s dictatorial authoritarian shouts
bringing home festival offerings from the store,
rare occasions to taste chicken, duck, and pork
mother’s asthma affliction, sickness and pain, groaning day and night
pickled vegetables, radishes, watery porridge, and porridge water, boiled fish in clear water
distant dreamy memories fade and blur over time
as ethereal as a wisp of light smoke

decades later
elder brother in Shantou’s Chenghai had also passed away
still keeping regular contact with his wife, daughter, and family
life’s affairs and circumstances
change in the blink of an eye, time flies and things change
tides rise and fall, seasons come and go
children have built their own careers and families
a new generation of precious little ones
witness the continuation of life, the nourishment of family bonds

人的一生

童年，恍如昨日
爬树捉迷藏踢足球
斗蜘蛛打架鱼玻璃涂层线，逐纸鸢
无知无虑

校园校外
期考运动课外
捣蛋逃学打架温书抱佛脚
一晃，来去无踪

好男要当兵
步操，障碍，作战训练，实弹射击
24公里路线行军
成就了负责任成熟青年

入社会工作,大学
各有所需所限，各奔前程
毕业就业敬业乐业
掀开生命的下一个乐章

沉醉爱河
依偎夕阳共栖晚霞
星空披身圆月同枕
甜蜜梦幻

年轻的激情
雄心万丈壮志凌云
创业，开发新颖领域，改变社会
只见终点忘了旅途

成家立室
养儿育女寸草春晖
灵魂伴侣携手偕老
一生守护一辈子牵挂

人过中年，方才
放慢脚步放松身心
愉悦身边的人和事
体验生活中的小幸福

一转，已是白头
不说功成名就
也谈不上踌躇满志
只能说去过做过

一甲子辗转，回首
人生旅程缘分交织
漂泊时间的涟漪中
寻找生命的独特旋律

Life’s Journey

childhood, seems like yesterday
climb trees, play hide and seek, play soccer
match fighting spiders, fighting fish, glass-coated kite strings, chase paper kites
clueless and carefree

in school and outside
semester exams, sports, extracurricular activities
make trouble, play truant, fight, study at last minute
in a flash, comes and goes without a trace

a good man should be proud to join the army
marching, foot drills, obstacle course, combat training, live firing
24km route march
deliver responsible and mature youths

start work，university
each his own needs and limitations, and each goes his own way
graduate, start employment, happy in work with pride and dedication
unveil the next chapter in life

falling in love
snuggle together against the sunset and linger in the evening glow
pulling the starry sky to cover ourselves and the full moon as our pillow
sweet and magical

passion of the young heart
great ambitions lofty aspirations
start a business, develop novel fields, and change society
fixated with end goals and miss the joy of the journey

get married start family
raise children, careful nurturing and devotion like giving light and warmth to blade of grass
soul mates, growing old together
a lifetime of guarding over, a lifetime of care and devotion

passed middle age, only then
slow down the pace and relax the body and mind
enjoy the people and things around us
relish the little moments of joy in life

turn around, and already sporting white hair
not to claim success in life
nor to say having achieved great aspirations and ambitions
can only say “been there, done that”

having 60 years eventful experiences and challenges, looking back
the journey of life is intertwined with destiny, connections and encounters
afloat in the ripples of time
seeking the unique melody of life

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
