Passing By Lonesome Waters Poem by William He

Passing by Lonesome waters
By William He

Sudden gusts lean down,
Brooding clouds press the the waves,
Tides remembers something older than sky.
Siren in South China Sea in murk drowned,
The mangroves blaze without sound.
The ark hums lullabies, drifting slow,
The depths close round,
A vanished world once hallowed, found.
How much pure fear can the turtle wrinkled brain contain?
And cold green scalPassing by the Lonesome Waters
es flash ghostly light.

Alone and blur.
Grey quills blending with the indigo of the night.
The bones of human failure tumbled in the shallows,
Often grow nostalgic for that time.
The shattered oars beneath still sway,
Their rage washed far away then.
Creased waves pull tight in wild ballet,
Frizzing sound of bubbles,
While coral splits like opened slur.

Like Ancient pagoda's fall through time's twilight,
In a gaze held still,
Floods rise through palace ditches.
Mermaid's luminous salty tears,
The occasional color in the lapping water even.
Weathering many crossings,
Only the cliffs dream blood again,
The years' refrain,
We are drifting in the endless deep.

浪淘沙漫 过伶仃洋
作者：何威廉

乍风低，
沉云浅黑，
暗浪弦急。
南海天吴寄迹，
潮推瑞鹤画荻。
疑诺亚方舟漂渐寂，
忽沉入、
太古槐国。
想直下幽潭唤珠鳖，
苍鳞闪寒碧。

孑立。
管毫悄进沙碛。
记几度凉光循时隙，
照鬓丝缩瑟。
嗟断桨沉沙，
犹带嗔色。
摺纹密织，
偏又逢、
海底珊瑚初坼。

应是西湖雷峰翼，
凝眸处、
宫沟泛溢。
又谁见、
鲛人珠泪滴。
只留得、
镜像崖山，
照万古、
空濛水界深无极。
