ashes and snows 尘与雪

 

我再一次站在墨尔本的夜色里的时候,

生命的意义已经不再是用语言可以表述的了。。。。。。

 

 

From original movie track,

Ashes and Snow

给所有依旧热爱生命的人.......

 

 

If you come to me at this moment
Your minutes will become hours
Your hours will become days
And your days will become a lifetime 
To the Princess of the Elephants
I dissapeared exactly one year ago
On that day, I received a letter
It called me back to the place
where my life with the Elephants began
Please forgive me for the silence between us
has been unbroken for one year
This letter breaks that silence
It marks the first of my
three hundred and sixty five letters to you
One for each day of silence
I will never be more myself,
than in these letters
They are my maps of the bird path
And they are all that I know
To be true

You will remember everything
All will be as before

In the begining of time,
the skies were filled with flying elephants
Every night they lay down
in the same place in the sky
And dreamt with one eye open
When you gaze up at the stars at night
You are looking into the unblinking eyes
of elephants, who sleep with one eye open
To best keep watch over us

Ever since my house burnt down
I see the moon more clearly

I gazed upon all the Edens that have fallen in me
I saw Edens that I had held in my hands,
but let go
I saw promises I did not keep
Pains I did not sooth
Wounds I did not heal
Tears I did not shed
I saw deaths I did not mourn
Prayers I did not answer
Doors I did not open
Doors I did not close
Lovers I left behind
And dreams I did not live
I saw all that was offered to me,
that I could not accept
I saw the letters I wished for,
but never received
I saw all that could have been,
but never will be

An elephant with his trunk raised
is a letter to the stars
A breaching whale is a letter
from the bottom of the sea
These images are a letter to my dreams
These letters are my letters to you

My heart is like an old house,
who's windows have not been opened for years
But now I hear the windows opening
I remember the cranes floating above
the melting snows of the Himalayas
Sleeping on tails of manatees
The songs of the bearded seals
The bark of the zeebra

The clicks of the sand
The ears of the caracals
The sway of the elephants
The breaching of whales
And the silhouette of the eland
I remember the curl of the meerkat's toes
Floating on the Ganges
Sailing on the Nile
Ascending the steps of......
I remember wandering through the corridors
of Hatshepsut and the faces of many women
Endless seas and thousands of miles of rivers
...I remember father to children...
...And the taste...I remember...
...and the pealing of the peach...
I remember everything
But I do not remember ever having left

remember your dreams \ remember your dreams \ remember your dreams \ remember

The longer I watch the Savanna elephants,
the more I listen, the more that i open,
they remind me of who I am
May the guardian elephants hear my wish
to collaborate with all the musicians of nature's orchestra
I want to see through the eyes of the elephant
I want to join the dance that has no steps
I want to become the dance

I can't tell if you are getting closer or farther away
I long for the serenity I found
when I looked upon your face
Perhaps if your face could be returned to me now,
I would find it easier to recover
the face I seemed to have lost

My own

Feather to fire
fire to blood
blood to bone
bone to marrow
marrow to ashes
ashes to snow

Feather to fire
fire to blood
blood to bone
bone to marrow
marrow to ashes
ashes to snow

Feather to fire
fire to blood
blood to bone
bone to marrow
marrow to ashes
ashes to snow

Feather to fire
fire to blood
blood to bone
bone to marrow
marrow to ashes
ashes to snow

Feather to fire
fire to blood
blood to bone
bone to marrow
marrow to ashes
ashes to snow

Feather to fire
fire to blood
blood to bone
bone to marrow
marrow to ashes
ashes to snow

The whales do not sing because they have an answer.
They sing because they have a song.

What matters, is not
what is written on the page,
what matters, is
what is written in the heart.
So burn the letters
And lay their ashes on the snow
At the river's edge
When spring comes and the snow melts
And the river rizes
Return to the banks of the river
And reread my letters with your eyes closed
Let the words and the images
wash over your body like waves
Reread the letters,
with your hand cupped over your ear
Listen to the songs of Eden
Page, after page, after page
Fly the bird path
Fly…Fly…

羽成焰
焰成血
血成骨
骨成髓
髓成尘
尘成雪

点亮黑夜 (Found in translation)

"那些没有被翻译出来的就是诗......"
 
Fading lines of my departure station,
now are completely disapeared on this September night.
I found what is so meaningful sense of this life of mine.

无风的春

我看到了城市的样子,
未来还没有出现的幻灭.
走的理由,
来的借口.
无风的春,
不一样的天,
疑惑我想透...

Midnight movie

 

比起Charles在静谧的雪山顶端无声回望半山腰上那匹白马的景象,

我更能够从容面对这幅粗犷草原中还在摆动的思绪。

 

飘雪山顶的那个长镜头的慢慢定格,安静得实在让人没有办法呼吸,

要么永远告别生命坚守的乌托邦?

还是义无反顾地重回人性的关怀?

 

救赎和逃离,

被拯救的还会是内心无归路的迷途吗?

 

太过严肃的场景,

太过沉重的选择。

我就只把目光放在了这疾风的原野上。

 

感性世界里的极限,

生命终极里的局限。

 

午夜影院的剧终时间,

不再演饰电影里面的人生。

 

 

一个摇晃的家伙忽然在我背后大声的问了一句

Hey Dude, what condition your condition was in today?”

 

 

 

I woke up this morning with the sundown shining in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within.


I tripped on a cloud and fell a eight miles high,
I tore my mind on a jagged sky,
I just dropped in,

to see what condition my condition was in.

 

 

 


I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole,

and then I followed it in.

I watched myself crawling out as I was a crawling in.


I got up so tight I couldn’t unwind,
I saw so much and I broke my mind.
I just dropped in ,

to see what condition my condition was in.

 



Someone painted April fool in big black letters on a dead end sign,
I had my foot on the gas

as I left the road and blew out my mind......

丢了的影子(分析视角的荒谬言论)

 

 

凌晨336分,

“ Rosilita,

没有颜色的太阳…”

 

82678427

 

不用,

我知道了,

你们看不见的,

好好想吧, 你能分清楚直线和圆圈的区别吗?

 

 

给我一对翅膀,

? 你要做什么?

别管,给我就是了

 为什么要向下啊?

不知道.

 

81785151

 

别停, 继续告诉我,还有什么.

 

六弦的,Guitar,

不是网球拍子.

合整为一了?

一把椎骨的剑型.

这次千万不要沉闷的回荡,

走投无路的蓝调Blues?

离我远点吧,

见过了.

 

这次想戳破的就是藏起来的,

大脑? 神经?

你是哪一个虚设的人物?

主角不是我.

那个不是你的影子.

“ I went up stairs, the man is not there.

how I wish he wasn't there…”

Parallel strangers??

一个童声的低语,

确实是很毛骨耸然.

不是梦, DVD机忘了关了.

? Identity?

 

 

别抒情,

谁在无病申吟

听不见.

 

思念是片汪洋,我困在岛中央,
我的彼岸,

在你心上…”

 

81858596

 

怎么坐在了这里?

已经过时几年了的声音?

果然, 梦啊

 

 81774244

 

 好像是一声猫叫,

反正撇了一眼.

太阳还没有出来,

窗外, ,

下雨,

一个可以继续睡懒觉的周末

 

 

我不是退化了的天使,

也许还是个孩子,

等待上天无法预测的礼物…”

Sydney ( Matrix city )

 
Sydney,
首部Matrix中Neo最后飞离的城市.
可能是那一幕的印象太深刻了,
所以,
take the red pill or have the blue pill 的声音几天来一直没有在头脑中停止过.
越来越认同人生实质就是永远转换的布景和充满选择的过程,
吞下红色药丸,忘记一切,重返最初的生活,
还是拿起蓝色药丸, 咽下未知的疑问,寻找真理的根源,
Ladies and gentlmen,
It's all your call......

蓝色海岸线(澳洲 Melbourne City)

 

从两周前被困在急诊室大厅里挂吊瓶的那几天开始,

平时根本就无暇考虑或顾及过的问题,忽然都有了拿出来思考的时间,

生病从这层意义上来讲,对我是一件好的事情。

 

那天晚上挂完最后一针,从医院走出来的时候,

感觉陆家嘴的天空和往日不一样了很多,

我没有像以往那样坐一路畅通无阻的地铁回去,倒是做上了一辆行走在地面上的公交车,

窗外是拥挤杂吵的车辆,我却什么也没有听见...

回到家,收拾好了旅行箱,

明显地感到一台旋转的引擎被熄灭了,

有一场大病初愈的感觉.

 

生病不可怕,特别是真正知道自己是为什病了的时候...

 

Melburne 7:00 AM, 碧蓝的天,还有些寒意的春天,

走出Airport的那一刻起,

另一台引擎启动了...

 

( To be continued )

Bright sights

 

I looked up when the lights are blurring,

and I guess I’ll just have to pay for what I had claimed.

 

Till one day I finally feel to cross devils’s end,

I’m still a peripatetic stranger here on my corner of unchanging line.

 

I dragged my proof of breath into my Eden’s flame in the meanwhile,

all of sudden, fears no longer await for roar.

 

I’m running again, Lord,

here on the super highway,

deepening into tonight’s dream.

 

Brushwood terrorized my nerves,

reflecting these mirror images of colored wolrd.

I’m once again falling behind those chasing steps,

for the illed concepts in great heads…..

No boundary

I'm digging my way
I'm digging my way to something
I'm digging my way to something better

I'm pushing to stay
I'm pushing to stay with something
I'm pushing to stay with something better

I'm sowing the seeds
I'm sowing the seeds I've taken
I'm sowing the seeds I take for granted

This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I've planted
It tears me and I bleed
and I feel...

佛心...莲

 

莲,

伞雨,且自度.

 

佛心,

不被魔迷,自性.

 

 

我们的心呢?

依旧沉寂在了浮华里,

仍然放飞在了天际间.

除去了规律性的起伏,

还有剩下的什么?

 

就只看一眼吧,

用安静的片刻而已.

 

万苍撒向翠湖的雨珠,

碧野延伸至海平线的无堙.

 

佛说,

与风而至,

随风而逝.

 

禅心无尘,

莲花就要开了……

Virtual Sunday

A day without any thoguhts,
dummy's acts and your ridiculous expressions...
keep digging harder, and is there any helps you are looking for it?
Well my friend, the funny thing is,
deeper you go, and funnier you are...
 
Limited imagination,
what are you wandaring here in this beautiful April?
What a shame that I'm not the magic color in this art piece of yours,
melting hopes among the virtual stages.
 
We should take a flight to Alsace,
in deed.

至远

“艳照门”事件从之前的沸水到如今的落尘,

资本市场的疯狂攀升和当下所谓理性回归的跳水,

纷飞在云层上的房子,

塞堵在环路上的车子,

危机,理想,

压力,彷徨……

 

离世界太近了,所以近来目光也似乎变得很短浅了,

相应的,生活也越来越偏向机械式的过程了,

耳朵也失聪了,

噪音的外面还是杂音,

其实,

我们已经听见了所有的语言,

可是,

记住的什么也没有。

 

 

读了一篇有关“远”的文字,

从远景到远界,远知到远见,

看到了年少轻狂时的心有多大,世界就有多远的闯荡,

还有现时这种无法远走,终究停滞隐形囚笼的尴尬,

 

 

或许学会远离才是“远”之神韵,

So Bob says,

 “ don’t get up gentleman, I’m only passing through……” he he he. 很酷的样子.

 

 

想要宁静并安远地生活也许不是件易事,

经纬天地,

心存悠远者云行天下,静水流深。

淡马锡*狮城

在终年绿意盎然的狮城,
多元不是我要的形容词...
 
我想到的是河岸塘边的芦苇墙,
曾经在别人的网里游弋着的,我们自许的自由,
没有散弃的旧路重回,
和所有流失,
也就没有今天的悠远的意境...

蒙太奇.暖冬(写在岁末)

 

又是一个温暖的岁末,

本应是刺骨的北风,

不过,雪不见了,

没有想到。

 

好像是我们的脚落错了驿站,

一趟南下的航班,

换作了一抹的蔚蓝,

生命的绿,

暖风。

 

今年的影片倒流没有了连贯性,

跳跃,段层式的,

城市之间没有了边际,

人和人之间,

依旧徘徊于边缘。

追逐的是海平面的旭日,

忘却了,停了的,

每个人都知道是什么

 

暖冬,

岁末,

一场我再也看不懂的电影。

 

 

 

 

附:还是在岁末的最后几天跑了回来,

刚出北京机场的自动门就忽的一下子和冬天撞了个满怀。

哈哈,开心啊,

冬天真的应该是这样的。

镜框&上海

搬到上海来以后,一直都想把这里的风情用Frame框起来,

后来发现我做得到的也只是一个镜框而已,

里面的情景少了些故事,没有根源的那种,

然后我才明白这是因为我没有在上海留下过时间的脚印,

生活过的地方才有镜框外的感受。

 

周末的午后,放一片lounge CD

看着相机这些不同角度的上海,

开始开小差。

 

上次公司派我去新疆参加那个会议的时候,

去机场接机的司机和我说一定要去喀那斯看看,

因为据说那个季节的草原美得像是一块被上帝遗忘在人间的调色板。

但比较可笑的是上帝只是遗忘了他的调色板,

却并没有忘记帮我预订了一张会议结束后第二天就返回上海的机票,

就这样,和近在咫尺的美景擦了肩。

这是叫做遗憾吗?还是无奈?

GOD KNOWS

 

好朋友的电话,千里以外的风景,

没有极限的物质准则,精神领地的世外桃园…..

城里城外的困惑没有随着年龄的增长而减弱,

反之,

少了离开的勇气。

有人说这叫变老,有人说这叫妥协,

我觉得这是生活。

 

 

这样的城市里面,

被污染的有时候是空气,有时侯是人

 

晚上做梦遇见了一群横行的寄居蟹,

很佩服它们,    

不是因为换壳时需要面对的裸露危险,

而是可以永远居无定所的勇气……

 

把上海的不同角落放到镜框里,

虽然我不属于这里……

南雨. 静安

上一次听到小提琴的时候,是在凯宾斯基的酒店大堂里,

有型的一个男人,

身后是架HOFFMANN,还有一位美丽的钢琴女子,

记不得当时的曲目了,

应该是那种阳春白雪的声音吧,

后来,

如果不是眼前三环路边的一座座日以继夜,

竣工在既的公寓楼盘,

我可能真的觉不到,

刚听到的音乐和现实其实有着这么一段遥远的距离。

 

 

生活是绝对绝对充满变数的,

刚想为落叶归根的故事点个句号的时候,

人又不在原地了。

 

上个星期还在十三陵的农家院里和同事们畅饮说胡话,

现在的窗外,已然是南国的风了,

静安区的街道,还有着不少老上海的影子,

瓦片房,竹衣架,

天井,小巷弄堂口的馄炖小摊,

一个又一个时间反复沉淀后的永不退色的故事场景。

 

 

隐约又听见琴声了,

这次并不阳春白雪,

好像是蔡琴.

 

讲述,

女人和眼泪的故事,

还有夜色与离别的声音。

 

风情万种的到底是这个城市,

还是所有游走其中的心灵呢?

拿出那张完全与这个时代脱节了的塑胶唱片吧,

答案在音符里。

 

 

 

 

 

  

August 31

3 am's space

凌晨3点,

没有了喧嚣的北京,

窗外,夜奔.

 

不再确定这是我的最后一趟Flight,

高架桥,

支起了那个15年前的回眸.

 

静,

掩饰,我无从细诉的起点,

折而无反的家.

 

凌晨3点,

Can you really see me through...

 

 

July 20

看不见,但我听到了.

 

闷和热的北京,

蒙着灰的天色,

超强的冷气风扇,

还有泳池里的冷水,

已经降不下我脑袋里的高温了

 

天,这应该不只是天气的问题了吧...

Pace of mind ??? Uhm…

I’m not so sure what do you mean here…

 

身后的显示屏里是慵懒的声音,可是并不颓丧。

 

 “ Words disappear,

       words once so clear,

   only echoes,

       passing through the night.

 

  The lines on my face,

       the fingers once traced,

           fading reflections of what was…

    

  Thoughts rearrange,
    
familiar, now strange.
  
All my schemes.
     drifting on the wind… "

June 11

港都的夏

南方的天空,有些闷湿,
IFC试图拨挑云端的封锁, 刺开了一个天的缺口,
不知道顶层的人群是不是真的吸到了更为新鲜的空气......
 
找吧,
浮华都市后的沉淀了的旧梦,
还是璀丽旧梦里悸动暗涌的城市?
 
世纪与千年过了,
释解的答案依旧倒映在水里,
it's there, a mirror reflection......

798 Bei Jing Art district

798 Bei Jing Art district

感觉798里面有很多残余的红色,

和漫天飞舞的黄沙相比,没有那么强势,有无所不至的味道,

显得有一点过时,然而完全没有捏造和伪饰,还是顽强,固执的存在在那里.

讽刺,思考,或者是真实的记载与迷失,让北京的这一个角落有了文化艺术的宣泄.

 真的以为艺术家的本意其实是相通,无国籍或派别的,

 显示的都是神经深层的意识流想,释放的是灵魂的声音,

 无论是是非颠倒的阐述,还是穷途末路式的挣扎,

 看到的是人性的本质,生活的本色。

 

  回来有一段了,终于可以有时间仔细打量北京了,

  出了798 Art district 的铁门,

  迎面的高速和玻璃城着实让我有愣了一下的迷惑,

  从来没有过的,

  对红色有了全新的感悟

I've been walking forty miles of bad road,
if the Bible is right, the world will explode,
I've been trying to get as far away from myself as I can.

I'm looking up into the sapphire tinted skies,
I'm well dressed, waiting on the last train.

People are crazy and times are strange,
I'm locked in tight,
I'm out of range,
I used to care,
but things have changed......
