The Touch 文之触摸

This is where words are bound by soul. 

在心灵的牵动下,文字的袅袅舞姿,尽在其中自我陶醉。散文、诗词、故事,点缀人生的平凡、弥补生活的萧索。

Shore Reverie

The soles padded with the salted quartz

Towering, is the heavenly blue ocean speckled with tailed ivories

Where beneath it lies the cousin, the Rumbling Waters

The place where the three relatives hold their rendezvous

Away from the bustling, steel-cold forests

The sky, the earth and the waves

Idyllically blended, harbouring the soul of nature

Found nowhere else

Unparalleled

 

Where the footprints left, the strip of soil

The bond of the land and sea

Sometimes, the tie is strong

Then the bond tightened

Up goes the frothy waves, overflowing with warmth and hearth

Or the bond relaxes

The land stretches as far

To reach the receding water

 

The caress of the water

On the lazy sand

Becomes a trove for treasures of intricate designs

The Maker’s unearthly flair for art

Etched on the shells of bivalves

Some are burrowing while others are legacy of senescence

Or perhaps, of unfortunate encounter

 

Some just wish

All the ill memories erased

Like the stretch of sand washed by the lapping sea

By the shore

Changing its face each time

As the waves play tug-of-war

With the gravity and wind

Some just wish

All the cherished moments preserved

                Like the eternal camaraderie of the heaven, earth and sea

                Last from every sunrise to every sundown

                Unscathed by zephyr or gale

                Till the Earth stops turning around
