秋止符城市100_03_01活動主題_如果 蓬萊_心燈／沉默之聲

黑暗之夜  誰與訴說

幻象又靜悄悄的爬過

向熟睡的人  灑下思念的種子

深植的印象  記著曾經的傳說

無盡之夢  走過江南雨後

青苔路上  燈籠拉長的身影

回眸雨灑的眼睫  幻影閃爍

寒雨曲唱過的拱橋那頭

大地無聲  夜空誰獨立沉默

誰在燈下   沉默  沉默如我

如我無以言說的心緒

那數以萬計的喧鬧燈火 

正記錄著無數生命的謳歌

今夕獨我  醉思著匆匆的迷惑

愚昧的思緒  總是看不透

那堆爬上心頭的字跡之後

蔓延了神話故事的寄託

向暗夜伸出的手  抓取聲音的沉默

只有轟轟的迴音 
分辨不出 到哪兒?才能告一段落

寫下的箴言或綺語

最終只有一句不曾解說

佇立江南小巧渡口

幸福的燈彩  閃爍在那頭

沉默如我  如夜色鬱鬱退縮

只有沉默的音階

伴著幻象的我  踩過時空 

聽任年少到白頭    一遍遍

低迴著   那一首沉默之歌

寧秋  2011.03.27

沉默之聲

Hello, darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the sound of silence

In restless dream
I walked alone the narrow street of cobble stone
Beneath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night and touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light
I saw ten thousand people may be more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I "you do not know"
"Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out it's warning
In the words that it was forming, and the signs said
"The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls and tenement halls
And whispered in the sound of silence"
