富士山下

｢萬暗中，金色高樓與寺廟並列，銀雪潤物細無聲，何其夢幻。近眺銀色細雪粉飾金山，而銀白富士山隱現在高遠處，金銀黑白交疊，此情此景可待成追憶，只是當時已惘然。｣

｢來來去去，就像數學符號算不完，
來過，就像『去』字，去破開天地，
以另種形式『重遊』新境。｣
Coming and going,
like equations with no end.
Every arrival carries the seed of departure—
but “leaving” cracks open new ground,
and in a different way, becomes a return.

關菊英 – 似風如水
回憶總似風如水 沒法剪得碎
目送從前 顧盼現在 誰會值得隱退
夢裡多少過客 狂潮翻過去
回首 竟彷彿隔岸觀花 從雲霧戲水
回憶都美好 或許 自覺錯得對
目送從前 顧盼現在 誰會值得隱退
夢裡多少過客 狂潮翻過去
回首 經不起雨滴風摧
未忘記負累 但忘記熱淚 為何化霧水

「疏影橫斜水清淺，暗香浮動月黃昏。」
宋・林逋《山園小梅二首》
Plum blossoms cast delicate shadows across clear waters.
Their Subtle fragrances fill the evening air under the moonlight.
A poem by Lin Bu in the Song Dynasty(960-1279 AD), celebrating plum blossoms.
