我們是各自的島嶼
沙美島,羅勇省
到底在哪兒我們才能隨意的
用微風編起一首首觸動心弦的樂音?
我們沿著岸邊的小徑前行
浪潮輕語著一波波海洋深處的遊戲秘密
跟隨海洋時間節奏運行的島嶼
無視工業化的法則
自由安坐大海上 唱著
或吶喊著 當風兒激發靈感之時
詩人是身處海上市場的一個孤島
那裡有文字被解體地買賣交易
那裡有金錢被自身的頑固重量所淹沒
輕盈的願景只能隨溫柔的翅膀飄流而去
島嶼是一個拒絕加入陸地的詩人
拒絕合併拒絕法律的認可
拒絕在無聊沉悶的機械中
變成一介平凡的勞工
詩人是樹立在僅存綠木中的指南
是島嶼,靈感的搖籃
金色鳥群的柔美與抒情之音一同飛翔
詩歌吹著口哨哼出它自有的勇敢之歌
蒙自然環境政策所造之福
詩人們擁抱令人尊敬之潮水
解放想要佔有世界的連鎖欲望
揚起風帆遠離港彎勇敢地活著
一朵花的耳語對海岸是獨一無二的
一生的詩人懷抱和自己的協議
不管壓力也不輕易順應
深信自身的潛能
能徹底擺脫市場的牽制
有完全的自由去愛沙子的起伏
有柔順的自由不受人類的侵蝕
不因積欠合夥人重債而喘不過氣
我們是各自的島嶼
An Island of our Own
Koh Samet, Rayong Province
Where are we free to create from the breeze
Melodies to touch our deepest chords?
We walk the trail along water’s edge
Waves whisper the secrets of subterranean toys
The island runs on ocean time
Regardless the industrial laws
Freedom sits in the ocean and sings
Or cries as the wind inspires
The poet is an island in a marketing sea
Where words are bought and sold by the piece
Where money sinks under its own stubborn weight
And lightest visions float on tender wings
The island is a poet refusing to join the mainland
Refusing to incorporate and legalize
Refusing to be common labour
Among masses of dull mashines
The poet is a guide among remaining trees
The island, a cradle of inspiration
The golden birds mellow upon lyrical voices
Poetry whistles its own courageous song
The politics of nature bestow honour
Where poets embrace the waves of respect
Free from chains of desire to own the world
Sailing high upon harbours brave to be alive
The whisper of a flower unique to these shores,
A lifetime poet of its own accord,
Ignores the pressures to conform
Believes in its own potential
To be totally free from market forces
Thoroughly free to love the sand as it lies
Smoothely free from the corrosion of mortals
So heavily weighted by debts to senior partners
We are islands of our own
