如果可以這樣說

如果可以這樣說

當理念原來只是一句美麗謊言

幸好生在還有詩歌的時代

撫慰著暗夜裡無法計算的時間憂傷

如果可以這樣說

當思想聲嘶力竭地瘋狂吶喊

幸好生在還有想象的時代

陪伴著遙遠星際中沒有方向的流浪

如果可以這樣說

當希望墜落於被凝視的自我深淵

幸好生在還有善良的時代

擁抱著人世間來來往往的變化無常

(*The following is an English translation of the poem)

        If I may say

If I may say,

When ideals are but a beautiful lie,

Fortunately born in a time when there is still poetry,

To soothe the uncountable sorrow of time in the dark night.

If I may say,

When thoughts scream out in a frenzy,

Fortunately born in a time when there is still imagination,

To accompany the wandering without direction in the distant starry sky.

If I may say,

When hope falls into the abyss of self-contemplation,

Fortunately born in a time when there is still kindness,

To embrace the changeability of the world that comes and goes.
