《Are You on the Moon When I Miss You?》
I miss you in the spring mountains
tall green trees shake their heads in the cold wind
you are not there
I miss you on the summer beaches
white seagulls sing their songs in the blue sky
you are not there
I miss you on the autumn streets
brown fallen leaves kiss my slow feet
you are not there
I miss you in the winter poetry room
empty wooden chairs speak silence
you are not there
are you on the moon when I miss you?
my dear friend
A comment from Allpoetry:
Ray Cope - What a beautiful piece of writing.
So wistful, so dreamlike, and oh so whisperly.
There is no sadness here.
No regret.
Just a simple yearning question in the air; what are you doing this very moment?
The yearning is expressed wonderfully by the devise of the repitition of the statement," you are not there."
It let's us feel the absence of just one more little ingredient that would make things even more perfect for her.
When you miss someone, I guess the moon would be the perfect place where they might hang out, to escape the milling herd.
Really lovely piece to read and digest.
《当我想念你的时候，你在月亮上吗？》
我在春天的群山里想念你
高高的绿树在冷风中摇头
你不在那儿
我在夏日的海滩上想念你
白色的海鸥在蓝天中唱歌
你不在那儿
我在秋天的街道上想念你
棕色的落叶亲吻我缓慢的脚步
你不在那儿
我在冬日的诗歌房间里想念你
空空的木椅沉默无语
你不在那儿
当我想念你的时候，你在月亮上吗？
我亲爱的朋友
【后记】今天大才女66把我的那首谱了曲的小诗《Who Makes Me Forget My Age?》发在了唱坛，谢谢她为我的小诗谱曲，深感荣幸。借此机会，和66一起同祝美景荣任唱坛版主！
我这是第一次来唱坛，因为我虽然也想唱就唱，但是不会唱 ：） 我是一名诗歌爱好者，有些网友叫我“诗人小西”，哈哈哈，见笑了，不敢当。目前我的博客里有20余首原创的诗歌（见分类目录【我的诗歌】），中英文的都有，上面这首《Are You on the Moon When I Miss You?》就是其中的一首。如果唱坛的朋友们有兴趣对我的诗歌进行谱曲和演唱或者朗诵，非常欢迎。谢谢。
