                                 Orchid in the Valley 

 

 

 

   
                                     By Tian Yu Zhi

 

 

 


An orchid blooms by the spring in a valley of deep mountains

It enjoys listening to the mountain breeze, bird singing, and sound of streams

Feels the valley’s trembling and joy at the moments

When the Sun and the Moon arise  

 

 

Once attracted by the noise and cooking smoke from the village

The orchid appeared timidly in their courtyard

It tried hard to show its color and emit fragrance

Opened its small petals to convey goodwill and kindness 

 

 


However, the smoke and fire in the dusty world blurred people's eyesights 

The purity and focus in the way the orchid looked up to the sky and waited for the rain

Made them perplexed, jealous, even full of hatred 

The villagers called it wild flower, banshee grass...

 

 


The orchid gave a slight smile, and retreated to the valley, free and unfettered ever since

With Godsend beauty, why does it need earthy hearts to understand it ——

If the orchid itself knows and is happy because of it

If the butterfly knows, and flies around the orchid by the spring in the valley

一株兰花静放在深山僻谷泉边

它喜欢倾听山风 水流 鸟鸣

感受太阳与月亮升起时 

整个山谷在那一瞬间的颤栗 欣喜

 

 

 

它也曾被村庄的炊烟喧嚷所吸引

怯生生地出现在他们的庭院

极力展示自己的颜色与花香

以小小的花瓣 努力向人们绽放善意

 

 

 

可是 尘世的烟熏火燎使人双眼迷蒙

兰望着天空 期待雨落的专注与纯净

使饱经风雨的他们困惑 妒忌 甚至憎恶

村民们称它为野花 妖草。。。

 

 

 

兰花淡然一笑,从此遁入空谷, 自在逍遥。

天赐美好 何需尘心理解 知晓 ——

如果 兰心自知 并因此快乐着

如果 有蝶识香 山谷泉边,绕兰翩飞

有个叫陆庆屹的,曾是一名爆破矿工,炸开深山洞穴,被黑暗角落的水晶打动,转行拍电影做纪录片,推荐《四个春天》。:-)

有人说,如果耶稣现在真的再次降临,还会被钉起来

嗯,人性没咋变啊,善恶都很鲜活。几千年后,几大宗教不还是依然打得正欢

Reading your "orchid" poem, I can't help but think of Qu Yuan.
