If I love you-
Unlike climbing Campbell,
Show off with your tall branches:
If I love you-
Never imitate spoony birds,
Repeat monotonous songs for the shade;
It is not just like a fountain,
Send cool comfort all year round;
It is not just like a dangerous peak, it increases your height and sets off your dignity.
Even during the day.
Even spring rain.
No, these are not enough!
I must be a kapok beside you,
Standing with you as the image of a tree.
Roots, close to the ground,
Leaves, touching in the clouds.
Every time a gust of wind blows,
We all greet each other,
But no one
Understand what we said.
You have your copper branches and iron stems,
Like a knife, like a sword,
Like halberds,
I have my red flowers,
Like a heavy sigh,
Like a heroic torch,
We share cold waves, storms and lightning;
We enjoy the fog, the rainbow,
As if we were separated forever,
But they depend on each other all their lives,
This is great love,
Loyalty is here:
Not only love your strong body,
I also love your stand and the land under your feet.
Author: Shu Ting is good at introspection of her own emotional rhythm, especially showing the unique sensitivity of women in grasping complex and meticulous emotional experience. The complexity and richness of emotions are often manifested through special sentence twists and turns such as assumptions and concessions. Shu Ting can also find sharp and profound poetic philosophy (goddess peak and Hui 'an daughter) in some conventional phenomena that are often ignored by people, and write this discovery with both speculative power and touching feelings.
