像针尖上一滴水滴在大海里,我的日子滴在时间的流里,没有声音,也没有影子。
我不禁头涔涔而泪潸潸了。
[3]去的尽管去了,来的尽管来着;
去来的中间,又怎样地匆匆呢?
早上我起来的时候,小屋里射进两三方斜斜的太阳。
太阳他有脚啊,轻轻悄悄地挪移了;
我也茫茫然跟着旋转。
于是——洗手的时候,日子从水盆里过去;
吃饭的时候,日子从饭碗里过去;
默默时,便从凝然的双眼前
过去。
我觉察他去的匆匆了,伸出手遮挽时,他又从遮挽着的手边过去,天黑时,我躺在床上,他便伶伶俐俐地从我身上跨过,从我脚边飞去了。
等我睁开眼和太阳再见,这算又溜走了一日。
我掩着面叹息。
但是新来的日子的影儿又开始在叹息里闪过了。
[4]在逃去如飞的日子里,在千门万户的世界里的我能做些什么呢?
只有徘徊罢了,只有匆匆罢了;
在八千多日的匆匆里,除徘徊外,又剩些什么呢?
过去的日子如轻烟,被微风吹散了,如薄雾,被初阳蒸融了;
我留着些什么痕迹呢?
我何曾留着像游丝样的痕迹呢?
我赤裸裸来到这世界,转眼间也将赤裸裸的回去罢?
但不能平的,为什么偏要白白走这一遭啊?
[5]你聪明的,告诉我,我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢?
