Poem

Believer (1993)

On the day
While closing my eyes in the mist of the sacred temple
I suddenly heard
The true world of your prayer

In that month
I turned around all the prayer wheels
Not for the purpose of purification
But for caressing your finger tips

In that year
I knocked my head for a long time on the mountain path
Not for the purpose of pilgrimage
But for pressing near the warmth of your body

During that life
I turned around mountains, rivers, and Buddhist towers
Not for seeking after a better future life
But for meeting you on the way^[1]

信徒 (1993)

那一天

闭目在经殿香雾中

蓦然听见

你颂经中的真言

那一月

我拨动所有的转经筒

不为超度

只为触摸你的指尖

那一年

磕长头匍匐在山路

不为觐见

只为贴着你的温暖

那一世

转山转水转佛塔啊

不为修来生

只为途中与你相见^[1]

Inspiration

Cherry Prayer was inspired from Xuntian He’s poem Believer (1993).
