The Poet and After the Day - Barclay James Harvest
人到晚年，
可以做的事不多了。
想做也沒什麼人會理會或留意了。
若心還熱的，
也只能冷眼旁觀人世事。
若有誰會和我聊聊天，
我一定會告訴他有關我洞識的天機。
——————
年青時聽年青人創作有關老人的歌曲歌詞，
沒什麼感覺。
到老時再聽那些歌，
覺得他們寫有關老人的歌曲歌詞，
寫得很好呢~
THE POET
Here I sit watching the day out No-one beside me who may doubt All of the words that I could chose to say So listen, believe, or be gone from this day I need a friend to walk with me And sit in the shade of an old tree To think nothing much, just agree with my thoughts To say nothing much, never tell what I ought Watching the people pass by now They just don't know why or know how They don't seem to care about all that I've seen They just walk on by never knowing I've been Sitting up here where I'm wind blown Only to ask and to be shown Things that would make you believe what I say I'll tell you myself and I'll show you some day AFTER THE DAY The eyes of night march slowly by The last grain falls The kneeling man just sighs Protected by the one great wall Of coloured parts He probes his clouded mind If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day With trembling hands he wipes his eyes He tries to stand But does not feel the need The morning sun shines on The multicoloured cross Left standing through it all If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day If he takes a look around him Is there nothing left to see Is there nothing left at all After the day

高規格的愛在身邊...
Bread - Aubrey
And Aubrey was her name,
A not so very ordinary girl or name.
But who's to blame?
For a love that wouldn't bloom
For the hearts that never played in tune.
Like a lovely melody that everyone can sing,
Take away the words that rhyme it doesn't mean a thing.
And Aubrey was her name.
We triped the light and danced together to the moon,
But where was June.
No it never came around.
If it did it never made a sound,
Maybe I was absent or was listening to fast,
Catching all the words, but then the meaning going past,
But God I miss the girl,
And I'd go a thousand times around the world just to be
Closer to her than to me.
And Aubrey was her name,
I never knew her, but I loved her just the same,
I loved her name.
Wish that I had found the way
And the reasons that would make her stay.
I have learned to lead a life apart from all the rest.
If I can't have the one I want, I'll do without the best.
But how I miss the girl
And I'd go a million times around the world just to say
She had been mine for a day.

她的繪風纖細，觀察入微，
描畫寫實圖像，十分耐看。
加上作者文風溫柔，深入生活，
述說香港貧窮階層的住屋問題，具感染力。
讀者易有共鳴感。
讀完這書，我也不禁會問，
香港貧窮階層的住屋條件，
可以好些嗎？

這本漫畫的作者花輪和一於1994年
在日本因涉嫌反槍刀法等法規，
在北海道被判入獄三年。
出獄後創作了這一本獄中漫畫書。
花輪和一用很細緻的筆觸，描寫獄中的日常生活。
因作者用很冷靜客觀的眼光看獄中的
人事物及那裡高度紀律的生活。
我讀來覺得很壓抑，
並有很強烈的孤獨感及冷落感。
花輪和一沒有強烈表達它對獄中生活的意見，
但通過漫畫中一個受刑人這樣說：
“假釋出獄後，高牆外迎接我者，唯有地獄。”
有比較之下，似乎不至於不能接受獄中的生活呢！
