class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">连死亡也不会相信。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">青年人也没工夫去想老,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">炽烈的火焰</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">不可能理解灰烬。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">但是,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">总有一天</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">衰老和死亡的磁场,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">会收走人间的</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">每一颗铁钉!</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我想到自己的衰老了。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">因为年龄的吃水线</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">已使我颤栗颤栗、吃惊;</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">“甚至于在梦中都能感到,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">生命的船正渐渐下沉”</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">“但是别怕!”</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我安慰自己,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">人生就是攀登。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">走上去,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">不过是宁静的雪峰。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">死亡</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">也许不是穿黑袍的骷髅,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">它应该和诞生一样神圣。</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我也设想了自己的老境——</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">深秋叶落的梧桐,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">风沙半掩的荒村;</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">心的夕阳,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">沉在岁月的黄昏,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">稀疏的小白草</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">在多皱的崖顶飘动;</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">颤抖滞涩的手笔,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">深奥莫测的花镜,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">借一缕冬日罕见的阳光</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">翻晒人生的全部历程;</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">“累吗?”我想问自己,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">回首往事,最高的幸福</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">应该是心灵不能平静</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我很平凡,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">不可能活得无愧无悔,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我很普通,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">也不敢奢望猎取功名。</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我宁肯是一匹</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">消耗殆尽的骆驼</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">倒毙于没有终点的途中;</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我甘愿是一匹</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">竭力弛骋的奔马</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">失蹄于不可攀援的险峰。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><br></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">让我生命的船</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">在风暴降临的海面</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">浮沉吧,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">让我肺腑的歌</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">在褒贬毁誉中永生。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我愿接受命运之神的</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">一切馈赠,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">但我拒绝----平庸。</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我不要世俗的幸福,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">却甘愿在艰难曲折中</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">寻觅真知灼见的知音。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">即使我衰老了</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">但我获得了心灵的慰藉:</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">白发如银,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">那是智慧结晶;</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">牙齿脱落,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">那是遍尝艰辛。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我将依然豪迈,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">依然乐观,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">只是思想变得大海般深沉。</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">命运哪!</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">你岂能改变我的秉性?</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我依然无悔地在坎坷中</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">继续艰辛的耕耘。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">愿我的身躯化着来日</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">荒岭上的小黄花,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">迎风摇曳,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">却不愿挺着一堆行尸走肉</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">招摇过市在人间!</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我愿头颅成为滚动的车轮,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">而决不在私欲的阵地上</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">固守花荫;</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我愿用手臂</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">作为指引后人前进的路标,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">也决不在岁月长河中</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">做阻挡后人的螳螂。</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">这才是老人的美啊——</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">美得庄严,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">美得凝重。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">岁月刻下的每一笔皱纹,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">都是耐人寻味的人生辙印。</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">这才是我的履历,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我的碑文,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">才是我意志的考场,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">才能的评定。</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">而且,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">越是接近死亡,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">就越是对人间爱得深沉;</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">哪怕躯壳已如斑驳的古庙,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">而灵魂犹似铜铸的巨钟!</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">生活的每一次撞击,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">都会发出浑厚悠远的声音!</span></p> <p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">假如有一天,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">我被后人挤出这人间世界,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">那么高山是我的坟茔,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">河流是我的笑声,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">在人类高尚者的丰碑,</span></p><p class="ql-block"><span style="font-size:22px;">一定会找见我的名字。</span></p>
