[創作] The Departure

[spacedunce5 (讀不完的書)]

I.

The waters lie still as you walk across them.




II.

What is left of a miracle
if there are no fish, nor wine,
nor ripples and wind?
When all faith is lost,
does a sprouting tree make a sound?




III.

Hopes are what're left of your presence.
We partake of them like cheesecake, when in reality
they are but truffles.




IV.

So let us throw the opening pitch
and see how the batter swings!
There are enough in the stands tonight
to catch for us.




V.

And we are but ticks and tocks of a clock with star-crossed power.
Let us find a new miracle:
        between glimpses of humanity on the subway
        in the rising of French bread
        over treetops but under the stars
        before the beginning of the urge to prepare to turn the page
                           and leave behind all that now not is.




VI.

From ashes and dust
a song rises amongst us.
