《賀畢業之喜》__ 陳瑞文 (71)

姨甥女今天大學畢業，賦詩一首以賀之:

人生真善美
盡在心中求
名利如朝露
旦夕不能留
捨本而逐末
事事添煩憂
精誠貫日月
展翅翱天遊

《參不透》__ 陳瑞文 (71)

《參不透》

皈依寂寂棄名利
禪修靜靜觀空冥
年年六四痛斷腸
念念心慟徒參經

《五天禪修營後有感》 __ 陳瑞文 (71)

《五天禪修營後有感》

盤腿多年崎嶇路
一朝放下路坦平
觀息降伏諸妄念
茅塞頓開見光明

《念鄰居》__陳瑞文 (71)

《念鄰居》

許氏心良善
賢德惠眾生
佳偶長相伴
何日不濃情
愛花更惜鳥
鄰居引為榮
伉俠忘年友
儷影樂琴聲
留連情難捨
念舊意真誠

【 昔日鄰居許氏夫婦，仁慈忠厚，每次與他們聚首都談笑甚歡，捨不得離開。去年我搬家，大家都依依不捨，我開始撰寫一詩篇，打算送給他們留念，但卻一拖再拖，直至最近才完成。可惜許老先生已於月初仙遊，我捧著不能送出的詩篇，感慨人生之無常，潸然下淚。】

《三清山》 __ Don Chen (71)

三清山天高云淡，直得來。希爾頓酒店超級好。謝謝乖乖姪女 的自由行路缐，為大伯爺上山修道立大功，可以早日成仙。

三清山上三清福地 
天門峰下天門山莊

江西有座龍虎山，道教張天師在那兒建立道廟。
張天師的第二弟子，名字葛洪。葛洪在三清山建立三清宮。道教聖地。
葛洪跑到大仙崗煉丹。
我的鄉下是大仙崗。

《To Diana of Merida》__ Arthur Cheung (71)

《To Diana of Merida》

Since the Romans’ reign,
You have braved the rain falling on the plain,
Your ruins are still standing tall,
Admired by tourists and all.
Through many more Springs and Falls,
May your remains remain in Spain,
Braving the thundering tapping and clapping,
Testament to the Romans’ pains!

[Amphitheatre and Roman Temple in Merida, Spain by Thomas Shum]
