怀念一棵老树
根，扎进大地
叶，撑开乌云
即使被雷霆劈断
仍然挺立
怀念一个人
用骨灰书写爱情
在海上把忧伤
化作阴间的地址
怀念一个灵魂
没有远去
海浪一样向你扑来
礁石一样站成宪章
怀念，年年抽出新绿
直到怀念长成树前
我不会忘记
把种子留给人间

July Poem — Remembrance

Author: Cai Chu

Cherishing the memory of an old tree:

Its roots, dug deep into the earth;

Its leaves, pushing open the dark clouds.

Even if split by thunder,

It still stands upright.

Cherishing the memory of a person:

Who wrote of love with ashes,

Who, upon the sea, turned sorrow

Into an address in the underworld.

Cherishing the memory of a soul:

That has not departed far away,

Rushing toward you like ocean waves,

Standing firm like a reef, shaped into a charter.

Remembrance sprouts new green year after year;

Before remembrance grows into a tree,

I will not forget

To leave the seeds to the world of mortals.
