重逢時空似隔世，

但經審視猶相識。

相視無語又多時，

頭點唇顫始啟齒。

.  

請問葉兄可吉祥？

風摧雨殘已折逝。

請問蕊姐可安康？
日炙夜凌亦離世。

何時何處不相逢？

相逢並非在夢中。

此詩只記五分鐘，

前後皆空並不空。

若把前後皆補齊，

情誼愛恨濃更痛。

有喜春露花叢滴，

更慟秋霜花叢凍。

Reunion

When they met again,

it was like in another world.
However, after a long exam,

recognized each other with care.

After more speechless

and motionless steady stare,

heads nodding, lips quivering,

finally squeezed out some words.
 
 

“How is brother Leaf?

Is he lucky and safe?”
“Ravaged by wind and rain,

he has been swept away.”

“How is sister Pistil?

Is she in good health?”
“Tortured by heat and cold,

she was destroyed as well.”

When and where cannot

people re-get together?
Reunion is really a reality,

it’s not a dreamy matter.

This poem writes about

a time of only five minutes.

Things are not empty

at the front and back ends.

If both ends of the story

are additionally written,
love, fervor, hate, fury

are deeper and different.

There was much joy,

when spring dew

made the flowers open.

There was more pain,

when autumn frost

made the flowers frozen.
