中橫三闕

每天我們都不停地…
失去一些記憶，失去一些新聞，失去一些玩具，失去一些金錢，失去一些朋友。

或是
失去一點青春，失去一點健康，失去一點熱情，失去一點天真，失去一點理想。

因此
失去綠野，失去沃土，失去淨水，失去鳴鳥，失去藍天。也沒什麼好介意的。它不過是失去中的一種失去。

只是有時候不小心還是會被冒冒失失的詩人螫一下：「說台灣山水甲東洋，一點兒也沒誇張。在東洋的任何地方旅行，都不會看到有這樣美的自然美。這裡的自然美，乃是十足的自然美啊！沒加上一絲一毫的天工和人工。不一定要到所謂勝景的地點去，隨便在什麼地方看到的山和原野，都可欣賞到臺灣的自然之美。那美，是沒有任何粉飾的裸體美。那美就是樹木的綠，就是那出奇鮮麗的綠色，以及襯著這份綠色的大紅色的花。這一點是舉世無匹的。臺灣的綠，是一種綠色的爛漫之花。臺灣有這份綠已然夠了，還要勝景做啥！在豐富的光熱與雨水下，那繁茂深邃的綠色的山，彷彿滿山開了綠色的花似的。雨中濛濛的綠尤其格外地美。」（中西伊之助，臺灣見聞記）。

才多久？──不滿半百！
我已完全忘記母親的模樣，一點也不記得她美麗的容顏。
不過我無法感傷太久，
時間之流很快便捲走一切。
總有一天，所有的光都會在我眼中熄滅，
屆時，
還有什麼能失去？

Trilogy of Central Cross-Island Highway

Every day, we all constantly…
lose some memories, some news, some toys, some money, and some friends.

Or
lose youth, health, passion, innocence, ideal, more or less.

So
lose some green fields, some fertile soils, some clear water, some singing birds, blue sky, is nothing to worry about. It is only one loss of so many losses.

It is only once for a while I am reminded by the impetuous poet: “It is no exaggeration about the statement that landscape at Taiwan is over Japan. You won’t see such astonishing natural beauty here wherever you travel at Japan. The natural beauty here is overwhelming beauty! There is no work by god or man. You don’t need to visit those so-called scenic spots to enjoy the natural beauty of Taiwan. Those mountains and plains you see randomly are all very beautiful. That kind of beauty is one without any cover-up. That beauty is the green color in trees, such brilliantly verdant color. And there is also the red flower set off for this green color. It is so unique around the world. The green at Taiwan is like a brilliant floral one. With such green, Taiwan does not need those scenic spots! Under the abundant sunlight, heat and rainwater, the flourishingly verdant mountains are like blooming with greenish flower. The misty green in rain is particularly pretty.” (Taiwan kenbunki by Inosuke Nakanishi (1887-1958) )

How long it was ago? – It is not yet over half century!
I have long forgotten how my mother looks like. I don’t remember her beautiful face at all.
And I cannot feel sad for long,
the flow of time will sweep everything away soon.
One day, when all the lights would die out in my eye,
Then,
what else could I lose?
