"Ode to the Seagull"
Era: Tang Author: Gu Kuang
A bird that flies thousands of miles away is a guest, and once borrowed a branch from Danfeng.
Once the phoenix leaves and the phoenix tree dies, the eyes are full of kites.
Seagull (Japanese Modern Poetry)
The tranquility dyed in seaweed,
resting on a dune in daylight;
bright wings stroking Breaking the Waves Peak,
How calm, the white seagulls.
She foraged for food in the white foam splashing by the water's edge.
She rushed to my feet and gathered her wings.
......
Her eyes were wide open,
the clear blue of the sea was shining in her pupils.
That is a sacred pot,
condensing the light source of thousands of pearls.
You call the boundless sea your home,
The sea is also your happy song.
As long as you spread your wings and invite you to travel,
show your courage;
Then, wherever you go, wherever you look,
What suspicion, terror, contempt, humiliation...
All despicable shadows slipped away,
The long sky was blue and clear.
Ah, carefree angel!
You stand in the worldly net and look around,
You carefree spirit who has opened the door to purity!
What a pity, how can we, the darlings of nature, fly on that journey that looks like heaven.
……
Ah, my friend!
I have a wish:
Can you lend me your shining wings that never tire?
You, your wingless partner.
Wherever you are,
the wind of peace and happiness will blow,
and the golden sun will shine on the clouds.
However,
in the kingdom of the world,
the wind of filth blows for a long time;
the flowers of freedom have been abandoned for many years In the earth,
Immortality and poetic innocence have long been lost.
