Twilight

The roaming child wouldn’t let his sorrow show,

When fragments of watery blue sublimed into the afterglow.

He was told twilight stems from every pink toe,

That prints its infant lemon-green on reflection of a rainbow.

They say twilight is a net weaved by mayflies,

When the florescence of their transient lives defeats sunrise.

Then their wings shatter and sink into the ocean’s eyes,

That’s why there seems to be more stars than in the skies.

But for him twilight is a candle in a rosewood tray,

Where along branching fissures tears of wax wind their way.

During white nights he was blinded with pearly beams of ray,

That once through Ice age passions and hopes to relay.

In the canal of eventide his heart quietly bleeds,

Sitting on a vein of mussels that towards terminal leads.

Gold in the sand under his feet is daylight’s seeds,

Which will grow into a lucent curtain of flaming weeds.

創作靈感：

黃昏，是一個哲學思維和文學幻象橫空出世的時刻。她朝向每個人的都是一張不同的面孔，所以每個日落時分，光影彌漫的玄妙空寂、日升月恒的明媚輕靈、晝夜更替的輪回流轉，都會深深震撼那些境遇迥異，卻同樣有著夢幻色彩的心靈。除了一個熱愛黃昏的靈魂，我還有一顆每每跟隨著夕照參差、華燈吐蕊、烏鵲還巢、燭影斑駁而行走不止的心。日暮或許難免給人一絲頹唐消極的印象，但它更是詩意與狂想萌生、浪漫和魅惑共棲、懷想與頓悟煥發的瞬間。這是就為何我以一個孩子的眼睛對這一華麗落幕進行了長久的注視和冥想。
