Someone Is Coming To Visit
作者：陈国雄
Someone is coming to visit me
That is such a wonderful thing
Someone is on a path to see me
A path straight to ‘moi’
Someone is coming to meet me
That is so heartwarming
My visitors have stopped visiting
Leaving me alone in my small world
Someone is coming to call on me
Such a moving feeling
I am 92 on this old planet
Both still barreling through outer space
Someone is coming to talk to me
An honest exchange we will have
Winter is melting with thoughts of sharing
Spring looks promising to me now
A young reporter wishes to interview me
Comprehend me in person he will
Bringing his entire life
A rare encounter I dare not squander
The young reporter begins to canvas me
Such a novel thing I do not withdraw
I try not to disappoint
But the young man wishes to learn more
I tell him the opposite of what he is feeling
About not knowing what is in-store
You see, not knowing can be a good thing
So you do not become a know-it-all
Not knowing what tomorrow brings
Won’t hurt you too much
It is the sheer experience of trying
An important journey you don’t want to miss
After 92 years, I say with confidence
Life will hurt you in exchange
A suffering to liberate a restless heart
A painful trade-off you cannot avoid
Search your own inner being
Not by asking but by doing
Not by knowing beforehand
But stepping into the unknown
Each new journey is a step we make
Unfolding a mystery in us all
Seek not someone else’s secret
It may not light a flame that is only yours
Peeling away each unknown
Reveals the greatness that lurks within
Big steps and small steps
Lie in wait to gain access to your soul
Throughout our long life
Opportunity approaches to meet us
Like our uneventful talk this hour
Listening to words, spoken with power
