席慕蓉《一棵开花的树》- 书摘

如何让你遇见我在最美丽的时刻

为这我已在佛前求了五百年

求佛让我们结下一段尘缘

Buddha made me tree

By the path you may take

于是佛把我化作一棵树

长在你必经的路旁

In full blossoms i'm waiting in the sun

Every flower carrying my previous hope

阳光下慎重地开满了花

朵朵都是我前世的盼望

As you are near，Listen carefully

The quivering leaves are my waiting zeal

当你走进

请你细听

那颤抖的叶是我等待的热情

As you pass by the tree

without noticing me

My friend

Upon the ground behind you

Is not the fallen petals

But my withered heart

而当你终于无视地走过

在你身后落了一地的

朋友啊

那不是花瓣

那是我凋零的心
