Polymorphism

[hepingdao]

Deep into the mirror of wall,
I watch you
shifting in hundreds of forms.

What a great wall
that chains across your fingertips
to the end of another world.
I see a shadow moving in a snowman's suit
tranformed
to a green tree full of gifts

You are gifted
with hands creating the most exquisite food
out of plain materials;
Or in a rush, you washed sands into gold grains;
Or in a swift of wand,
you dug a tunnel
through the roughest mountains.

Are these just rumours?
Stories have become legends, some gone with the wind
some been buried beneath the snow
with bones clacking under railways.

Tears of words scatter over the wounds of ice.
How could a banana peel into a white skin?
I will hold back
what cannot possibly be translated.

Almost a hundred years later,
a figure, carved out of stone,
stands up with a tall tower
against the blue gigantic sky.

Who is it?
murmur the rustling snowflakes.

Through a piece of glass, I see him
breathing in fires.
A dragon lost its wings?
How could such a tiny creature
be the descendant of a giant species.

Who am I?
echo the trembling maple leaves.

I scrutinize every cell of you
under a microscope.
Do we possess the same type of genes?
I simulate all kinds of theses
by computer programming.

There might be no big differences,
regardless of the shapes of heirloom faces.
We might even share the same origin,
like streams merging into a river.

At the top of mother-
land stands that mighty Man
with his descedents migrated
across mountains and plateaus
through the distance of time,
you and me, joined, and our children
and our children's children

like rivers flowing
into the ocean
of human beings

Into the future,
I stand
looking back
into the mirror of history
reflecting, evolving...

思绪万千, 内敛深沉.
有些SPELLING似需检查, 可能是打字有误.
I see a shadow moving in a snowman's suit
tranformed

regardless of the colors of sunsetting.
At the top of motherland


stands that mighty Man
with descedents migrated
across mountains and plateaus
through the distance of time,
you and me, joined, and our children

另,有些句子不太好理解, 比如:At the top of motherland. 仅为商榷, 不妥见谅.

some been buried beneath the snow

stands that mighty Man
with (his?) descedents migrated

looking back
(into?) the mirror of history
