我爱水
我爱水。多少年来,生活的戏剧虽几易市景,但我总喜欢滨水而居,为了在梦中可以听到那清淡的柔声,明晨启扉,更可见到那一片照眼的清光。一湾澄明的流水,静静地向前滑流着,滑流着,把我的思念与忧虑都带走了,最后只将我留在岸边,悄然独立,盈耳只有那净琼微响,向我诉说一个无终结的故事。
我最喜爱的那片水,该是故都城北的什刹海了.那如一块青玉的平靜流水,曾做了我四年的伴侣。 什刹海正位于我母校的后门,度过一道筑在溪水上的石桥,再一转弯,便会听见那愉快的水声,伴着水滨青翠的树色在欢迎来访者了。
清晨无课,我总是拿了一本诗集,在水边倘佯,那时候,正是充满了诗意与幻梦的年纪,水边有时是“自在飞花轻似梦”的诗境,有时是“无边丝雨细如愁”的凄凉境界,还有什么更适于少年的心灵流连徘徊?我常是将书放在身边,双足垂到水面,叫水上的白云,将我带到又温暖又惆怅的幻梦里。
我曾有一首小诗,其中两段是:
我曾持一卷诗一朵花来到你身旁,
在柳荫里静听那捆捆的水响。
诗,遣忘了;花,失落了,
而今再寻不到那流走的时先。
你曾几番入梦,
同水上一片斜阳,
还有长堤上卖书老人的深色衣裳。
我曾一叠叠买去他的古书,
却憾恨着买不去他那暮年的悲伤。
诗中“你”的称谓,即是指什刹海,这首诗里,实在交织着无限的怀念和怅惘。
什刹海的可爱处,在于它的“变”,在于它的“常”,晴阴风雨,春去夏来,水边的景色不同,而它那最高度的关与宜人处,却永远蕴藏在那一片源脱水雾,以及激伦清光里,引人系恋。
当冬天撤去了那皎白的冰雪之幕,在水面薄冰上试步的乐趣享不到了,但一片温柔的春意,却把整个什刹海的灵魂浸透了。不知何处传来一声声鹧鸪的啼唤,像是那么遥远,又像是那么逼近,听来似是不分明,然而却又是那般动听,直扣人的心门。再过几天,水边的杨柳出了浅的绿痕,水堤上的泥土渐软了,而几场雨后,水已平了堤,时时刻刻似乎要涨溢出来,却又似被一道神秘的边界拘拦住了。一直在那里溶溶漾漾,如同一个殷勤的主人的手,将酒杯斟得太满了,使每一个来游者,都想一尝过葡萄色的琼浆,而低吟:“呵,你新鲜的湖水,陶醉了我的心灵。”
放假的日子,水边那块大石,便是我露天的座位了,水声轻柔,水光明媚,教给我无穷尽的智慧,将已逝去的,正在进行的,将要发生的一切,缓缓地告诉了我。我就这样坐着,听着,想着,直到夕阳将辉煌的火炬投入水中,将对岸人家的窗子也照亮了,我才将水色水光摄录心坎,带了回去。 最可爱的还有那水边新秋,北方的秋天本来是悄悄地来,比春天来得更幽俏,有一天,你一凝眸,不免惊讶水的颜色成了,堤边水位低了,水寥花的颜色更深了一些,而荷叶已有一丝憔悴之态。那么,秋意便是满了什刹海了,渐渐地,水过桥头,有个老人在卖荷叶粥了,水面上,更有一些年轻的女孩子赤足在采鲜藕,什刹海在荷叶的摇曳中已另有一种感伤的情调,但当星光落在水面时,你已可依稀听到诗神环佩。
岛上乡居,流水绕墙,每天望着这蜿蜒而去的山溪,我更怀念起什刹海了……
