詩意78

There came a Day at Summer’s full,

Entirely for me –

I though that such were for the Saints,

Where Resurrections – be –

The Sun as common, went abroad,

The flowers, accustomed, blew,

As if no soul the solstice passed

That maketh all things new –

The time was scarce profaned, by speech –

The symbol of a word

Was needless, as at Sacrament,

The Wardrobe – of our Lord –

Each was to each The Sealed Church,

Permitted to commune this – time –

Lest we too awkward show

At Supper of the Lamb.

The Hours slid fast – as Hours will,

Clutch tight, by greedy hands –

So faces on two Decks, look back,

Bound to opposing lands –

And so when all the time had leaked,

Without external sound

Each bound the Other’s Crucifix –

We gave no other Bond –

Sufficient troth, that we shall rise –

Deposed – at length, the Grave –

To that new Marriage,

Justified – through Calvaries of Love –

盛夏之日有一天來到

這一日完全是為了我

我想這也是為眾聖徒

這裡是他們復活之處

日光如常照耀在屋外

花朵如常盛開在處處

像無靈魂的夏至經過

使一切事都得到更新

話語幾乎讓此時玷汙

一個語詞的象徵符號

絕不需要如同聖餐時

我們主所在的聖體櫃

對每個受印記的教會

都被應許在此時團契

否則我們就拙於演出

在羔羊所設的晚宴中

時光從己意迅速流逝

用貪婪的手緊緊抓住

面對兩處平台互回看

連結住彼此對立之地

當所有時間流失殆盡

沒有從外面來的聲音

每人都綁住他者十架

我們沒有給另一個約

充足真理我們將復活

最終將宣告墳墓無效

同時宣告那新的婚約

加略之愛引來了公義

默想：

每個時時刻刻，都在造物主手中；時間與存在，只是人的認知與感覺；在造物主而言，祂沒有時間與存在的問題。因而，依附在時間與存在的節期與儀式，只有處於其中的人才在意，至於神，絶不在意，甚至可能厭煩；因為，人把屬神的擬人化：講道變演講，聖餐變表演。唯有真實的敬拜，除去人的時間存在概念，連結於各各他公正無私的愛與憐憫，毫不做作的成為新婦，才能進入神的國。「世人哪，耶和華已指示你何為善。他向你所要的是甚麼呢？只要你行公義，好憐憫，存謙卑的心，與你的神同行。」（彌迦書6：8）
