拥抱中秋（组诗）
Embracing the Mid-autumn Festival (Suite)
中文｜白鹤清泉 (Baihe Qingquan)

一）对九月说(Something Said To September)
九月再美好也要转身
这同升湖已紧紧抓住我的心
No matter how beautiful September is, I have to turn around
Tongsheng Lake has clung to my heart
我注定要坚决告别一些人情和犹豫
洒一杯酒把从前的故事封存
I am destined to resolutely bid farewell to some human relationships and hesitations
Spilling a glass of wine to seal up the old stories
陈年小溪的水流
不会重新流到大河来
包括一些雪月风花
The current of the old stream
Will not flow back to the big river
So it is with some romantic themes
二）走进秋韵(Going into Autumn Melody)
我是一枚杜牧诗中的枫叶
我用李白旖旎的月光
在枫叶的纹路上抚摸故乡的记忆
I am a maple leaf in Du Mu's poetry
With Li Bai’s charming and gentle moonlight
I caress the memory of my hometown on the lines of maple leaves
从白露起我开始细数秋风
数月宫桂影晃过的那些年轮
From White Dew on, I begin to count autumn winds
I count the annual rings of the laurel tree in the moon palace
从前在秋声里写给伊人的诗句
一首首都打了秋风
惟有两鬓留住一些月光的白
The poems written to the beloved ones in the sound of autumn
Are all dedicated to the autumn wind
Only the temples retain some whiteness of the moonlight
三）放过自己(Let Go of Myself)
汨罗江边有我心跳加速的地方
那些放飞在风筝上的诗吹落之后
应该在江边的草地上结了籽
By the Miluo River there’s a place where my heart beats faster
The poems flying on the kite, after they are blown down
Should have gone to seed on the meadow by the river
很多说好了的都已成为一个却字
带上母亲走出小城竟然也真却了
A lot of what has been agreed has become a word “but”
Taking my mother out of town has really become the word “but”
那个却字一直在坟头的草尖上摇晃
晃成秋月里一声长叹
The word “but”has been shaking on the tip of the grass at the head of the grave
Shaking into a long sigh in the autumn moonlight
我们都该放下了，因为
我们离母亲其实越来越近
We should all let it go, because
We are actually getting closer and closer to Mother
四）仰望天空(Looking Up at the Sky)
总喜欢将乡愁喝醉
醉成故乡的水井
Always liking to make homesickness drunk
Into the well in my hometown
我用月夜里打井水的长绳
系住了少年的快乐和乡情
I use the long rope for drawing water from the well in the moonlit night
To tie down the joy of teenage years and feelings for hometown
这么多年了为什么仰望星空时
依旧去俯视记忆中那口月下水井
依旧那样强烈地想变成井内
一只守望昔日时光的青蛙
After all these years, when looking up at the starry sky
Why do I still look down at the moonlit well in my memory
Why do I still desire
To be a frog in the well watching the old days
五）回家的路(The Way Home)
所谓幸福
就是回到母亲的身边
无论日子多么匆忙
母亲的召唤总会让脚步从容
The so-called happiness
Is to go back to Mother
No matter how hasty the time is
Mother's call will always let the pace take its time
每一次月圆的停歇
都因为母亲而熠熠生辉
Every pause at a full moon
Will shine because of Mother
而没有母亲的岁月
回家的路才是遥远又遥远
And in the years without Mother
The way home is very ,very long
六）轻握时光(Holding the Time Lightly)
我们都是一片秋叶
生活里许多精彩都在叶脉上
We are all autumn leaves
And many highlights of life are on the leaf vain
许多情感都在血红里
那一禅静美中
分明读得出华夏之热烈
Many emotions are in blood red
In the Zen-like quiet beauty
You can clearly read the enthusiasm of China
其实每一天都是生命的扉页
时光用断句的方式成诗
In fact, every day is the title page of life
Time writes a poem by punctuating sentences
每一个节点里都可翻阅生命
轻握时光，每一秒都是绽放
Life can be flipped through in every node
Hold the time lightly, and very second is blooming
七）回望故乡 (Looking Back on My Hometown)
拥抱每一个中秋
坚守每一片月光
是在解开一个个情感的结
是在还原一份份牵念的美
Embracing every Mid-autumn Festival
And sticking to every patch of moonlight
Is untying the emotional knot one by one
Is restoring the beauty of concern bit by bit
有朋自远方来
有爱自心底去
Friends come from afar
Love goes from the bottom of my heart
爱到极致是落日圆寂
情到深处是南屏晚钟
念到心空是皓月孤悬中天
Love to the extreme is the death of the sunset
In the depths of love is the Evening Bell at Nanping Hill
Missing you so much is that the moon is hanging alone in the sky
八）盈缺之间(Between perfection and defect)
喜欢打开微信
看启动页面那个望向地球的身影
听来自宇宙深处的声音
I like to open Wechat
To see the figure looking at the earth on the launch page
And listen to the voice from the depths of the universe
一份情要埋藏多少年
一个故事要持续多少天
生活中有缺有圆
How many years is a love hidden
How many days does a story last
There are flaws and fulfillments in life
迟到的有时也是一种完美
所有相逢都是时光巧遇
所有周遭都是属于自己的天
What comes late is sometimes a kind of perfection
All the encounters are coincidences of time
All the surroundings are my own world
-End-
