Under the Coconut Tree
By William He

Emerald plumes flick,
The sea wind rushes in,
And heat shimmers in rising waves.
The air coils thick around the roots,
Ants hovering around its sight,
A lone egret drifts in white, then fades to hush.
Used to the sky's quiet halo before the storm breaks,
Even limbs lie shattered,
The crowns cleft on the slant.
Worry's shadows slowly fade,
The willow with weeping shade,
Sodden magpies settle on twigs worn thin by time.

Glimmering nectar wells within the night's embrace,
Yearning to intoxicate with wine as rich as milk,
Its lure too potent for mortal hearts.
Beneath the unseen firmament,
Attuning to heaven's whispered pulse,
At midnight's breath, the tide transcends its bounds.
Alone, it watches the coral shore where time drips sideways,
The dark infinity unfolds its shroud,
Silencing each melody once proud.
Lights flowing from lunar springs,
Broken shadow spreads across the sand,
And they shiver gently, dusting itself with stars.

疏影 椰子树下
作者:何威廉

翠翎点拨,
算海风作法,
炎浪层叠。
热气盘根,
蝼蚁频窥,
树蕊韵白清彻。
惯于飓母悬天下,
纵断枝、
冠簪斜裂。
怯荫移、
蒲柳低呻,
湿鹊早栖残蘖。

光聚琼浆暗涌,
想醺浓乳酒,
人往难绝。
自趁幽霄,
暗契天心,
夜半潮头僭越。
孑身伫立珊瑚岸,
任潮说、
百忧磨灭。
待月升、
碎影铺沙,
漫抖一身星屑。
