祂為我寫了一封信
I came across this short piece as I was reading this pretty little book by Jimmy, that Taiwanese author/artist who loves writing poignant and at times, melancholic, stories.
Somehow this passage captures quite poetically my sentiments regarding my insomnia. Typing it in traditional script was quite a hassle. My rustiness in hanyu pinyin made me dally a bit more too. However I love this letter and I'm addressing it, instead, to my closest, deepest friend.
親愛的耶穌:
昨天我爬出窗口﹐站在十七層高的窗邊看黃昏的落日。我大聲歌唱﹐一首接著一首唱得好興奮﹐覺得世界是我的﹐美麗的未來卻將到臨。
可是﹐當我一爬進屋內時﹐就感到更深得寂寞。我只好又爬出窗外﹐望著迷蒙的星光﹐繼續大聲歌唱。
我唱得口乾舌燥卻不忍離去﹐好想歌唱到天亮。我累了﹐蹲坐窗邊﹐看著城市閃爍的燈火﹐心中升起一般暖意。
我一定不是這城市裡唯一的怪人﹐一定有意個人跟我一樣﹐空虛時對著夜空昌歌到天明﹐也許我永遠也遇不到他﹐但我熟悉他的心情。
天亮了。我要去睡了。
