《两棵树》

不在别处

就在这里

让我们一起扎根生长

穿透石缝

向泥土深处蔓延

我们的根   将紧紧缠绕一起

大地承托我们逐渐强壮的身体

山河的灵气缠绕枝干升起

我们的叶子相触云里

在风中一起喧响宣誓

经过的小鸟为我们欢愉啼唱

霓虹烟雨将我们沐浴洗礼

还有温润的山泉

静静渗入   泥土下

我们紧连的根里

一起    我们将越扎越深

不被动摇，不被震动

哪怕寒流，风霜

相互厮守    漫长的日子里                                  

Two Trees

By Mei Chen

December, 3rd, 2014

Not elsewhere

But here

Let’s plant and grow our roots together 

Penetrating the rock crevices

Spreading into the depths of the earth

Our roots will tightly wind together 

The earth supports our increasingly strong bodies

The haze on the mountain and river 

Twines wrap around                                             And spreads ever upward chasing our branches 

Our leaves meet each other in the clouds

In the wind, we announce and take an oath

The birds overhead sing for us with joy

The aurora and misty rains baptize us

And the warm and moisturizing spring 

Seeps into the soil

Where our roots closely intertwine

Together, we will tie deeper and deeper

Not to be shaken, not to be shocked

Fearless to the torrent, wind and frost

Embracing each other through hard times
