鲜花寺
a temple made of fragrances where flowers are disciplesjasmine meditates in spring, summer’s intoxicatedhydrangea, sweet-scented osmanthus carrieson the autumn wind, snow occupies the Great Buddha’s HallSpring, summer, autumn, winter – the four eminent monksthey travelled one by one, south of the Yangtze riverthe river is enlightened with the thinnest skin of iceBees are buzzing around flowersas if Buddhas sat upon their petalsThis temple is a land of springeach tree grows so as to cultivate its soulThinking of daffodils reminds me of your shy faceThinking of endless skies, sunlight like white fences We store the wings in the closet of timeIn those stories that come and go, the water witchkisses a modest swan who then forgets his graceful glowbecause of loneliness. The world shrinks slightlyWe don’t remember how we got hereit’s a long way back to where we startedobserving a flower in silenceas if the flower wanted to share its soul for a moment with our ownto replace his own presence –to accompany and comfort usmay be a clear and empty vaseI hope the flowers will never cease to complete me perpetuallyThe grass turns gradually yellowsycamore leaves are falling one by oneWinter brings those slower footstepsWe rejoice at the first bud in early springremember how a child grows day by daybut always ignore the winter wildernessneglect the frozen figure hunched beside the wallwe neglect the sunset once again We miss the opportunity to say goodbyeWe waste an old man’s final days The weather chills and all the keys are getting colderthe leaves keep falling in the windice blocks many of the keyholes.Keys are often little more than symbols. A bunch of keys will often sound like chains.Only some of the keys will ever be deliveredto places far away – and some are even hung up in the skyuntil the time when the sky collapses.These keys are still warm to the touch and glimmer slightly.The starry sky has given everything to make them shine.
本辑诗歌主要以花卉、季节和其他自然界的表现形式为主题。这些诗歌引发了大自然与人类关系的相关问题，强调了我们的精神健康和总体的健康状况都取决于对大自然持有的尊重态度，以及对其所有变化的细节和特征的密切关注。
第一首诗是树才的《鲜花寺》。开头的部分，诗人就将灵气与大自然的精神性结合到了一起：“鲜花寺主要由香气建成 ”。本诗坚称，我们应以谦卑和敬畏之心关注大自然，好比每一朵花和每一棵树都富有神性一般。
蜜蜂嗡嗡嗡，围着鲜花转
仿佛坐在花蕊里的是菩萨
鲜花寺就是春天的大地
每一棵活树都站着修行
在泽平的作品《回忆》中，爱人天真无邪的面容让人联想到春天的水仙花。整首诗弥漫着一种特别哀伤和遗憾的基调，进而表明，最初的承诺可能会因不幸的经历受到影响。一旦失去，便很难找回这般纯真和潜能。
我们只是忘记了来时的路
就像秋天的风，需要经过一段漫长的路程
才能回到最初的地方
本辑的第三首诗是扶桑的《蔷薇花》。在诗歌的开篇，我们又一次感受到了花与灵性之间的显著联系：“人在看花时的那种静默/有一种圣洁 ”。诗人唤起了自我与非人类世界的融合，以及摆脱利己主义束缚的自由：
愿我全部的生命
是一只清空了自己的
玻璃器皿，愿花儿不放弃
一次次，将我充盈——
马兰的诗作《每个黄昏都不可忽略》，从唤醒秋天的回忆开始。整首诗都充斥着终结的感觉：一年的终结，一天的终结，以及生命的终结。诗人提醒我们，即便光亮开始减退，视力变得模糊，也要注重和欣赏生命中的每一个时刻。诗歌传达出生命是多样且复杂的，不要忽略了它：
我们欣喜于初春的第一枚芽苞
记住一个婴孩每天成长的样子
却总是忽略冬日的旷野
忽略墙根下那个弯曲迟缓的身影
本辑的最后一首诗是李志勇的《钥匙》。这首诗营造了一种令人愉快的神秘氛围，并传达了一个重要的信息。诗人建议我们不要把财富、权力或地位的空洞象征与真实有用的东西混为一谈。“钥匙经常只是作为象征被带在身上。如果/有一串钥匙时，常常会发出铁链的声响。”反之，诗人则告诫我们要珍惜我们每天遇到的事情。所以这首诗赞美了平凡、有益和温暖的事物:
这些钥匙拿在手里仍有温热，仍有一些亮光，
星空几乎用尽一切锤炼了它们。
This group of poems is dominated by flowers, the seasons and other manifestations of the natural world. The poems raise questions about the relationships between nature and mankind. They emphasise how our spiritual health, as well as our general health, depends on a respectful attitude to nature, and a careful focus on all its changing details and features.The opening poem is ‘Temple of Flowers’ by Shu Chi. From the outset spirituality is associated with the delicate qualities of nature: ‘a temple is made of fragrances’. The poem insists that we should attend to nature with humility and reverence, as if every flower and tree contained divinity.Bees are buzzing around flowersas if a Buddhas sat upon their petalsThis temple is a land of springeach tree grows so as to cultivate its soulIn ‘Memories’ by Ze Ping, the innocent face of a loved one is associated with the daffodils of spring. The poem, which has a rather poignant and regretful tone, goes on to suggest that early promise may be compromised by negative experiences. Once lost, such innocence and potential is hard to regain:We don’t remember how we got hereit’s a long way back to where we startedThe third poem in the group is Fu Sang’s ‘Rosa Multiflora’. Once again we have the explicit connection between flowers and the spiritual right from the beginning of the poem: ‘observing a flower in silence / we touch upon the sacred’. The speaker evokes a fusion of the self with the non-human world and a freedom from the constraints of egoism:may be a clear and empty vaseI hope the flowers will never ceaseto complete me perpetuallyMa Lan’s poem ‘Appreciate Each Sunset’ begins with an evocation of autumn. The whole poem is suffused with a sense of ending: the ending of the year, of the day and of a life. The speaker reminds us to attend to and appreciate every moment of our lives, even as the light begins to fade and eyesight dims. Life is varied and complex, the poem says. Don’t look the other way:We rejoice at the first bud in early springremember how a child grows day by daybut always ignore the winter wildernessneglect the frozen figure hunched beside the wallThe final poem in the present selection is ‘Key’ by Li Zhiyong. This poem has a pleasing air of mystery about it and an important message. The speaker advises us not to confuse empty symbols of wealth, power or status with that which is real and useful. ‘Keys are often little more than symbols / A bunch of keys will often sound like chains’. Instead we are advised to value the things we encounter every day. So the poem celebrates the ordinary, the useful and the intimate:These keys are still warm to the touch and glimmer slightly.The starry sky has given everything to make them shine.
