Bud     Hsu ChiCheng

Buds have jumped out

From the earth

From the branches

Well

Only it is a seed

When the time come

It will jump out

Even if the ground is covered with snow and ice

Even if it is locked by cold winter

Tiny as it is

Only it is a seed

When the time come

It will grow up

Growing into a tall tree

Growing into a wonderful poem

Even into a fire burning in the grassland…

Poems of the World Volume19#3 2015

附中文原詩如后:

     芽    許其正

芽蹦出來了

在土地裡

在枝椏間

可不是嗎？

只要是有種的

只要時候一到

芽終究會蹦出來的

即使凍土層層壓著

即使嚴寒密密封鎖

別小看它身子小小嫩嫩的

只要是有種的

只要時候一到

它必定會長高長大

長成一棵枝葉繁茂的大樹

長成一首完美的詩

甚至一片燎原的火……
