讓風箏飛

By 陳僖儀

炎夏的空氣 孩童從鼻尖中輕滲熱汗是甜味
曠野裏放風箏嬉戲
忘掉的筆記 孩提時踏青草的你現在在何地
悠悠炎夏的風吹走了你
而童年就如斷線風箏一轉眼就已飄遠
現已自我手中永遠掙脱
而在何日才像個大人平靜去訣別
失落時 仍能學習到灑脱
天色豈會每日也明亮如晴空
一天總要領略到失望或心痛
當發現昨日似風 美夢也能成空
也要放下不可失控
天色不會每日也明亮如晴空
風箏該要放下了 蕩進天空那裂縫
像童年遠去的風景 誰也沒法觸碰
年月似河流 猶如甜睡一刻醒了就是十年後
從前曾摘的花心中卻有
而童年就如斷線風箏不經意就已飄遠
但也在手心中永遠温暖
而在何日才像個大人平靜去訣別
激動時 仍能學習到灑脱
天色豈會每日也明亮如晴空
一天總要領略到失望或心痛
當發現昨日似風 美夢也能成空
也要放下不可失控
天色不會每日也明亮如晴空
風箏該要放下了 蕩進天空那裂縫
像童年遠去的風景 誰也沒法觸碰
尚年幼喜歡的也可擁有
有父母親供給所有亦未夠 未學會放手
天色豈會每日也明亮如晴空
一天總要領略到失望或心痛
當發現約誓似風 美夢也能成空
也要放下不可失控
天色不會每日也明亮如晴空
風箏該要放下了 蕩進天空那裂縫
但童年遠去的風景 夢裏尚看得到
