    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
