Xhuli Spahiu:怀揣坚定信念，静候光亮归来的全部缘由

诗繁韵诗社

In a Foreign Land

There are evenings

when silence speaks to me in your voices,

and this house,

though it has walls,

remains empty without the sound of your footsteps.

It is not loneliness that weighs on me,

but the absence of the embrace

that only a mother truly knows.

Each day I measure time,

not by hours,

but by longing.

I wait for a phone call,

a smile on the screen,

a simple, "How are you, Mom?"

that warms my soul.

You are far away,

building your dreams,

while I remain here,

keeping the light burning in the window,

just as I once did

when I waited for you to come home from the yard.

My prayers

know the way to you.

They do not stop at borders,

nor are they lost across the seas,

for a mother's heart

will always find the heart of her child.

And when longing turns into tears,

I do not hide them.

I let them fall,

because every single drop

carries a blessing for you.

Until the day

I can hold you close to my heart once again,

I will live with the hope

that distance is only a road,

never a separation.

Even in a foreign land,

you remain the homeland of my heart.

You are my first prayer,

my final strength,

and the reason why, each day,

I await the return of the light with unwavering faith.

异乡

总有无数黄昏

寂静会幻化出你的声音同我低语，

这座屋子，

纵然四壁合围，

听不见你的脚步声，便只剩空寂。

压在心头的并非孤单，

而是再也触碰不到那独属于母亲的拥抱。

我丈量每日光阴，

不以时分刻度，

只用绵绵思念。

我等候一通来电，

屏幕上一抹笑颜，

一句简单的“妈妈，你还好吗”，

便能熨帖我整颗心。

你身在远方，

筑造属于自己的梦想，

而我守在此地，

长明窗前一盏灯火，

一如从前，

静静等你从庭院嬉戏归来。

我的祈愿，

总能寻到你的方向。

国界无法将它阻隔，

沧海不能将它吹散，

只因母亲的心，

永远能抵达孩子的心。

当思念化作泪水，

我不会刻意掩藏。

任由泪珠滚落，

每一滴，

都盛满为你祈福的心愿。

待到那日，

能再次将你紧紧拥入怀中，

我始终怀揣一份期许：

距离不过一条长路，

永不是隔绝。

纵使你漂泊异乡，

你仍是我心底唯一的故土。

你是我最初的祈愿，

是我最后的力量，

也是我日复一日，

怀揣坚定信念，静候光亮归来的全部缘由。
