秋来了
——谨以此文献给毕业班的莘莘学子
        一如既往的,生命的轮回又一次转到了秋天,给自然披上了成熟的预期,大地似乎也低头流连着厚实。我满心的期待着找寻:成熟,你在哪里……
我来到了现实的空间里。教室的氛围已不再是往日的躁动,于昨时的寂寞里添加了些明显的沉重;老师的话语也没有多余的过渡,于常规的诠释中平添上一份独到的重音;家庭的节奏又于常态的轮轴上,划彩出不经意的刻意的旋律。于是,我也下意识的蹬踏着小车,努力的着落着属于我的着落点:—如博尔特上道时的热身—如菲尔普斯入水前的轮臂。我无意去效仿名流,我只想来感觉自我的节奏,只想这节奏的车轮能将我产生更大的惯性,从而达到下一个加油站点。即便那是个晚秋的荒废的无人站台,我也正好整装前行。……
       我来到了自我的世界中。单调的茶饭常令我食欲不作,单调的课程常使我思维消顿,单调的情愫常叫我心灰意冷……默默中,我在想:即便是日日满汉全席难道就消停,不是说有钱才吃素么!即便是盲流在横流物欲的世俗里难道就适意,古训云无聊才读书啊!即便是优越的情感待遇像个公主般的富有,而当筵席消散时唯恐也无所适从了吧!我在想:郭晶晶的鲜花源于苦训时重复的单调,霍金的成就来自实验时重复的单调,更多的残奥队员的痛苦远远不止是单调。哦,秋的盛装原本就源于冬日的漫长寂寞!
       于是乎,我想走进那坦荡的原野,我想融入那深邃的海洋,我想乘上“嫦娥三号”的翅膀飞上太空中翱翔!当洪荒的一切封杀了所有记忆的时候,当原始的状态荡涤了所有现实的时候,当茫茫宇宙只呈现一片巨大的黑洞的时候,我们想过还曾经是一粒尘埃、一滴水珠、一只虫豸了么?不!我想说的是:在那个时刻,你一定会想,哪怕是一粒尘埃足矣!那就让我告诉你:拥抱一切,珍惜所有!
      南美有位诗人说过,今天也将过去,明天也将过去,而唯一难以忘记的就是昨天。我也想说,这个秋天过去了,仍然有第二个秋天的到来,而当你拥抱了成熟的人生秋季之时,“落霞与孤鹜齐飞,秋水共长天一色”的绚烂会染红你的心扉!
