A Snow Exequys Poem by Haiqing Hua

雪之葬礼
A snow exequys
华海庆Oliver Hua

洁白色的雪季
是天地的葬礼
灰云是巨大的招魂幡
魂兮归来

白雪覆盖了青松翠柏
掩映间绿色葱茏
连日的寒流奔袭之下
千年的古树仍然暗暗扎根

雪之葬礼
是对生命的追忆
是对死亡的悼念
灵魂不死
如同满天白雪

死亡如期而来
生命却如同此千年古树
蓬勃而发
层出不穷

A snow exequys
华海庆Oliver Hua

This pure white of snow season
It is the exequys between heaven and earth
The grey cloud is a huge soul calling pennant
It calls all the souls to return

White snow covered green pines and cypresses
The luxuriant greens shine inside the white covers
The cold current stays for days
Those thousand year old ancient trees are still deep rooting

The snow exequys
It is a memory of lives
It is a condolence of death
Only the soul lives forever
Just as this skyful white snow

Though death comes as it planed
Our lives are just like this thousand year old ancient tree
Our flourishing lives
They flourish in an endless stream
