冬殇

尚玮珉

       落叶奏响了冬之序曲。于是冬轰轰烈烈而来，铺天盖地而来。

       娇艳的月季花未谢先萎；树丫柔嫩的肌肤变得干涩；欢快的鸟儿开始为生计发愁……一切都镶上了冬的色彩，一切都烙上了冬的痕迹。

       青纱帐被冬收拾得无影无踪。原野是一味的辽远，一味的空旷。你站在原野，最突出的感觉是自己的渺小，渺小得几乎不存在。

       万物在冬的面前臣服，而瘦削的菊率先发起抗争，她如大提琴奏出的低沉而奋进的音符，在轰鸣的冬之曲中显得那样执著，那样坚定。

       冬愤怒了。他想主宰世界，并高傲地自信：最终胜利属于自己。

       放纵的风在原野飞驰，无情的雪在空中狂舞。树丫可怜地摇摆着，电线剧烈地呻吟着，雪雾疯狂地翻滚着……

       冬在宣泄自己的威严，冬在扫荡敌对的力量。菊一败涂地，死于风雪之下，低沉而奋进的抗争旋律戛然而止。腊梅与雪莲却揭竿而起，继大提琴奏出小号高亢而激扬的旋律。

       风停雪止。原野死一般沉寂。一切被白色所覆盖。这是冬最得意的杰作，最潇洒的一招。此时，茫茫雪原的气慨不是比大漠雄风更冷峻吗？

       然而，当腊梅与雪莲高擎太阳的火把将冬雪焚烧时，冬的威严，冬的潇洒，冬的博大荡然无存，如丧家之犬发出痛苦的哀号。腊梅与雪莲傲然挺立，竖起与冬对峙的大纛，与冬为敌的队伍越来越大。冬一次又一次惨败。

       树丫把浑身的劲头凝聚在芽上，展示出青春的骄傲；弱小的野草昂起了头，面对冬毫不示弱；菊的儿子从冻土里钻出来，注视着狼狈不堪低头不语的冬，很开心……

       一向滥施淫威的冬如今孤立无援，绝望的泪水打湿了土地。他回顾自己辉煌的历史，回顾自己设想征服世界的宏图，回顾万物在他面前服帖的样子——那时他是那样的得意，那样的无所顾忌。这一切都成了遥远的过去。

       面对挑战，冬流下了最后一滴眼泪，不战而死，他化作一缕青烟溶入阳光之中。

       冬死了。春说：冬应该多一份温柔；夏说：冬应该多一份热烈；秋说：冬应该多一份诚实。

    I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven't thought about it. Don't have it on their schedule, and didn't know it was coming or they are too strict to depart from their routine.

    I can't count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer(结结巴巴地说), “I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday, I had a late breakfast, and it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite response: “It's just Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible.

    Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we are awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I'm going to”, “I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”

    When anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for a while, and you're ready to change your attitude to life.

    My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years. I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy. Now go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to, not something on your SHOULD DO list.
