周遭流岚升腾，没露出那真实的面孔。

面对那流转的薄雾，我会幻想，那里有一个世外桃源。

在天阶夜色凉如水的夏夜，我会静静地，静静地，等待一场流星雨的来临…许下一个愿望，不乞求去实现，至少，曾经，有那么一刻，我那还未枯萎的，青春的，诗意的心，在我最美的年华里，同星空做了一次灵魂的交流…秋日里，阳光并不刺眼，天空是一碧如洗的蓝，点缀着飘逸的流云。

偶尔，一片飞舞的落叶，会飘到我的窗前。

斑驳的印迹里，携刻着深秋的颜色。

在一个落雪的晨，这纷纷扬扬的雪，飘落着一如千年前的洁白。

窗外，是未被污染的银白色世界。

我会去迎接，这人间的圣洁。

在这流转的岁月里，有着流转的四季，还有一颗流转的心，亘古不变的心。
