許其正：時間的影像

你說時間是看不見的

可是，你能說時間不存在嗎？

當嫩芽從種子發出來

慢慢長高長大

然後枝繁葉茂

然後開花結果

然後蒂落

我知道時間已經走過

當一個小孩子誕生

慢慢長高長大

然後皮膚出現皺紋

然後頭髮染上霜雪

然後死去

我知道時間已經走過

即使你說時間是看不見的

可是，你不能說時間不存在

The Image of the Time　 Hsu ChiCheng

Time is invisible

Yet you shouldn’t say it doesn’t exist

When a bud comes out of a seed

Growing higher and higher slowly

Growing out a mass of branches and leaves

Then blossoms and bears fruit

Then withers

I know time has passed

After a baby is born

He grows up gradually

Then wrinkles appear on the skin

Then the hair turns white

Then he dies

I know time has passed

You can say time is invisible

Yet you shouldn’t say time doesn’t exist
