在初春周末读一部世界史

在初春周末 读一部世界史

那奇妙 是敏感到万古

一个字就埋葬着一座城

一个女人就兴亡着一个王国

一句轻飘飘的话 就概括了大规模流血

金字塔不是随随便便写进来的

即使是万里长城

也用不完那轻易蘸取的墨水一滴

一个人在纸上更是无踪无影

只留下皇冠 化作星辉的一点

我知道我是如何的渺小了

一撇一捺 便从猿类走完了进化

一横一竖 悬挂起照耀千秋的痛苦

气吞山河的英雄生涯

只留下简简单单的生卒年代

又冷漠又灿烂 史书上的拼音文或象形字

阳光下的影子 是青铜的回声

是朝代的梦 是河流平原的呼吸

一分一秒品味活着的伟大

敏感到万古是一种幸福

我在鸟语花香的树下 读一部世界史

Reading a World History at a Weekend in the Early Spring

At a weekend in the early spring I read a world history

My curiosity is my timeless sensitiveness

In a character there was a city buried

A woman could have a kingdom rise or falls

An easily-written sentence has summarized a large-scaled bloodshed

The pyramid is not casually included in the record

Even the Great Wall

is written down in less than a drop of ink

A man will leave no trace in the book

The only left crown turned into a dot of starlight

I know how unimportant I am

just three letters m-a-n is the result of evolution from apes

A horizontal and vertical cross is just an unforgettable suffering hanging there

The heroes of great achievements

only left some simple record of birth and death

Detached but brilliant the letters and pictographs

The shadow in the sun is the echo of bronze

The dream of dynasties, the breath of rivers and flatlands

I spend my seconds and minutes to taste the living greatness

My timeless sensitiveness is a kind of happiness

Under a tree where birds sing and flowers bloom, I am reading a world history
