散文诗《龟》

天来小子内观。

0. 龟字含玄义，含多义。

龟字为象，为意，

承载天地奥秘，贯通生命真谛。

1. 龟者，北玄武也，五方神兽之一也。

天地五方，四象交织，

北玄武镇守北方，

其形厚重，其势沉稳，

如万古之灵，护佑一方。

2. 龟者，归也，回归也，北玄武是生命历程的起点与终点。

归去来兮，回归本源，

从初生的朝阳到落日的余辉，

北玄武守护生命的轮回，

起点亦是终点，

归于平静，化于无尽。

3. 龟者，息也，龟息之吐纳术也。

呼吸间，自有乾坤，

龟息微微，如同太虚之静。

深吸，归元；

缓吐，化灵。

龟之息，既延寿命，亦通玄妙，

摄天地之气，入心田之静。

天来小子微叹：

龟者，藏玄之道，现静之理。

如同这浩瀚天地，

以一片厚重之心，

安然行走于无边无际的永恒之中。

Prose Poem: The Turtle

Heavenly Child reflects inward.

0. The Turtle embodies profound meaning and myriad truths.

A symbol, an essence,

bearing the mysteries of the cosmos,

bridging the eternal truths of life.

1. The Turtle, the Black Warrior of the North, one of the Five Divine Beasts.

Among the Five Directions, the Four Symbols converge,

the Black Warrior stands guardian in the North,

its form enduring, its presence steadfast,

an ancient spirit protecting the realms.

2. The Turtle signifies “return,” the journey home, for the Black Warrior marks both the beginning and the end of life’s path.

Return, O wanderer, return to the source,

from the dawn of birth to the twilight of life,

the Black Warrior safeguards the cycle of existence.

The start is the finish,

all dissolving into the quiet of eternity.

3. The Turtle symbolizes breath—the art of breathing as in turtle-like stillness.

In each breath lies the universe.

The turtle breathes faintly, as though in harmony with the void.

Inhale deeply, and return to the origin;

exhale gently, and transform into the infinite.

The breath of the turtle lengthens life, reveals wisdom,

drawing the energy of the cosmos into the stillness of the heart.

The Heavenly Child sighs:

The Turtle holds the secret of the Dao, the truth of stillness.

Like the vast expanse of the universe,

with a heart grounded in serenity,

it traverses the boundless infinity of time.
