〈開放〉

--給憂鬱症患者





世界是鏡子

你笑它也笑

你哭它也哭



好爽！



你卻一個人

躲在暗室裡

看不見鏡子

不哭也不笑



好慘！





附註：根據最新報導，將近有10% 的美國人患有憂鬱症，年輕人的情形似乎更嚴重，有的甚至有自殺的傾向。

OPEN UP

--for people suffering from depression





The world is a mirror

You laugh it laughs

You cry it cries



How wonderful!



You hide in a darkroom

No mirrors no light

No laughs no cries



How terrible!





· Sept. 19, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- Nearly 10% of Americans suffer from depression, with the mood disorder increasing fastest among teens and young adults, a new study finds.



〈音樂〉





半夜裡醒來睡不著覺

他把手放在收音機上

從一個電台轉到另一個電台

尋找他想聽的音樂



卻發現

都是些讓他更睡不著覺的

噪音



或許

靜是最純的聲音

最美的音樂

沒有一點雜音

沒有大調小調

沒有變調

更不無聊



風靜

雨靜

鳥靜

人靜

耳靜

眼靜

心静



MUSIC





Waking up in the middle of the night

He put his hand on the radio

Turning from one station to another

Tried to find his music





But found only

Sleepless noises



perhaps

Silence is the purest sound

The most beautiful music



The air is calm

The world is calm

The ears and the eyes are calm

The mind is calm
