人滩

旷海有波涛
千年见今朝
岁月飘渺间
人生多少篇

常见人云步海边
举指沙田云语言
似机遇语录
欲长年可见
沧海水烈
日洗磨灭

百年之体
千载何知
波卷滩沙
人忘沙留

Commentary

Written on June 17, 2009, while sitting at the beach watching the waves hitting the shores. This sight probably had not changed much since millenniums ago but a person's time is limited and how much can one write.

Looking at people walking along the beach and wrote on the sand. It is like trying to write your life but the next wave will come and erode your words away. Isn't this like a person's life? Your words and work is only between each wave.

At the end of the day, what does all these means when people are forgotten? What remains is a smooth slate of sand.
