A PLACE ONCE CALLED EDEN

It was once upon a winter night
That my path did cross the
Angel’s flight
His raiment shone of fire within
He said my song had summoned him
A snow was falling silent, deep
Then the moon shone on a world asleep
The angel moved to still my fear
His eyes were swollen and filled with tears
He said this earth was once paradise
That man was filled with greed and vice
And that man had long since shunned his gift of reason
Then the angel turned and took my hand
And led me down across the lan
Where we were joined in the night and the heart of
A place called Eden
He said：
Come walk with me my loving son
And understand what man has done
To the bounty and to the gift that he was given
Come walk the garden path with me
And understand the mystery
That binds man ball and chain to his Armegedden

Then the angel smiled and said to me
That ours was a greater destiny
That life was like an only child
That we might cherish for a while
He said that God was love and that song was prayer
And that man had failed 10,000(ten thousand) years
In his fall from grace unto the depths of his creeds and isms
He said with all beneath the sun
That the soul of god and Man were one
And that a heart of stone was just a rightful prison

Now I felt within a deep dispair
His words were more than man could bear
He said that man must learn to pray
And that for the crime of one..
Mankind might pay
That we must search to the depth of the heart
where the truth is written
The angel said God’s love was blind
That to judge was death
And to forgive divine
And that with greed and with the finest gold
Had men forged the bars of the gates of Eden

Then the angel raised a flaming sword
He touched my tongue to seal my word
And as I felt as one consumed within
He asked if I might sing for him
And we spent the night in song and prayer
And I felt a loving presense there
and I was born in the night anew in the
light of reason
And though I know not how or when
As I reached to touch the angels hem
We did part in the night and the heart
of a place called Eden
So if upon some winters night
Your path should cross the angels flight
I pray you’ll find a song within
To shelter warm and comfort him
And when you look into his eyes
Remember:
Even angels cry
And that we are as one
and as whole in the eyes of a God
That perhaps needs us.
And be thou blessed and born anew
And know that you shall witness too
To we who are wandering in the dark of the night
from a place called Ede

泰戈尔《生如夏花》

英文全文
Life, thin and light-off time and time again
Frivolous tireless
one

I heard the echo, from the valleys and the heart
Open to the lonely soul of sickle harvesting
Repeat outrightly, but also repeat the well-being of
Eventually swaying in the desert oasis

I believe I am
Born as the bright summer flowers
Do not withered undefeated fiery demon rule
Heart rate and breathing to bear the load of the cumbersome
Bored

Two
I heard the music, from the moon and carcass
Auxiliary extreme aestheticism bait to capture misty
Filling the intense life, but also filling the pure
There are always memories throughout the earth

I believe I am
Died as the quiet beauty of autumn leaves
Sheng is not chaos, smoke gesture
Even wilt also retained bone proudly Qing Feng muscle
Occult

Three
I hear love, I believe in love
Love is a pool of struggling blue-green algae
As desolate micro-burst of wind
Bleeding through my veins
Years stationed in the belief

Four
I believe that all can hear
Even anticipate discrete, I met the other their own
Some can not grasp the moment
Left to the East to go West, Gu, the dead must not return to

See, I head home Zanhua, in full bloom along the way all the way
Frequently missed some, but also deeply moved by wind, frost, snow or rain

Five
Prajna Paramita, soon as soon as
Shengruxiahua dead, as an autumn leaf
Also care about what has

泰戈尔－《生如夏花》

生命，一次又一次轻薄过
轻狂不知疲倦
——题记

一
我听见回声，来自山谷和心间
以寂寞的镰刀收割空旷的灵魂
不断地重复决绝，又重复幸福
终有绿洲摇曳在沙漠

我相信自己
生来如同璀璨的夏日之花
不凋不败，妖治如火
承受心跳的负荷和呼吸的累赘
乐此不疲

二
我听见音乐，来自月光和胴体
辅极端的诱饵捕获飘渺的唯美
一生充盈着激烈，又充盈着纯然
总有回忆贯穿于世间

我相信自己
死时如同静美的秋日落叶
不盛不乱，姿态如烟
即便枯萎也保留丰肌清骨的傲然
玄之又玄

三
我听见爱情，我相信爱情
爱情是一潭挣扎的蓝藻
如同一阵凄微的风
穿过我失血的静脉
驻守岁月的信念

四
我相信一切能够听见
甚至预见离散，遇见另一个自己
而有些瞬间无法把握
任凭东走西顾，逝去的必然不返

请看我头置簪花，一路走来一路盛开
频频遗漏一些，又深陷风霜雨雪的感动

五
般若波罗蜜，一声一声
生如夏花，死如秋叶
还在乎拥有什么
