tat's why i love fics.  it's like going to the flea market - one finds the most unexpected gems in the least likely places :)

admittedly i took chinese lit back in sec sch, but tat was more than a decade ago and i wasn't paying attention most of the time, so it's rather ironic tat now i appreciate even more the beauty and lyricism in wat i guess i call my mother tongue (which is another irony since my mother was eng-educated and can't really speak mandarin :p). 

ok, main point.  序慕容 is prob the pen name of some female poet who's apparently still alive - apart from some of the cool poems i saw on the collection, she also wrote a poem called 《七里香》, and hers was the one tat came first.  i like the style of her writing - it's simple and clear, subtle in a way, yet her passion permeates the phrases.

this particular one got to me from the 1st read-thru, prob cuz i've had an inexplicable romantic fascination from the time i learnt ‘春风不度玉门关‘.  and also, the more i read it, the more i can see jin within the lines.

《出塞曲》

请为我唱一首出塞曲
用那遗忘了的古老言语
请用美丽的颤音轻轻呼唤
我心中的大好河山

那只有长城外才有的景象
谁说出塞曲的调子太悲凉
如果你不爱听
那是因为
歌中没有你的渴望

而我们总是要一唱再唱
像那草原千里闪著金光
像那风沙呼啸过大漠
像那黄河岸 阴山旁
英雄骑马壮
骑马荣归故乡


and the one from the fic which got me interested in her poems:

《信仰》

我相信 爱的本质一如
生命的单纯与温柔
我相信 所有的
光与影的反射和相投

我相信 满树的花朵
只源於冰雪中的一粒种子
我相信 三百篇诗
反复述说著的 也就只是
年少时没能说出的
那一个字

我相信 上苍一切的安排
我也相信 如果你愿与我
一起去追溯
在那遥远而谦卑的源头之上
我们终於会互相明白
