    我怕, 或許因為驚覺我就是那一隻小怪獸 (PUFF)

     
     
    今天回家的途中, 扭去聽收音機, 偶爾聽見 插畫家 Carrie Chau (http://carrie.mysinablog.com/index.php) 在商業電台 (忘了是 1台還是2台) 的節目,  很平淡的談談說說她長大的過程, 原來她小時候喜歡聽的歌和我蠻像的.  她的畫很特別呢. 在節目裡她緩緩的談起 Peter Paul & Mary 的 "Puff the Magic Dragon" 的歌詞 ...
     
    Puff (The magic dragon)   Peter, Paul & Mary

    Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
    And frolicked in the autumn mist
    In a land called Honah Lee

    Little Jackie Paper loved that rascal Puff
    And brought him strings and sealing wax
    And other fancy stuff, oh!

    Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
    Jackie kept a lookout perched on Puff's gigantic tail
    Noble kings and princes would bow whenever they came
    Pirate ships would lower their flag
    When Puff roared out his name, oh!

    A dragon lives forever but not so little boy
    Painted wings and giant rings
    Make way for other toys
    One gray night it happened
    Jackie Paper came no more
    And Puff that mighty dragon
    He ceased his fearless roar

    His head was bent in sorrow
    Green scales fell like rain
    Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane
    Without his life-long friend
    Puff could not be brave
    So Puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave, oh!
     
    這是一首小時候老爸常常在我將睡未睡時 (以為我訓左可以做自己野點知我又未訓得著!!) 播起的老歌.  曲子調子輕快, 聽了幾次, 忍不住步出房門, 問老爸究竟這首歌在說什麼 .... 原來歌詞心酸地訴說著一個小孩子貪新厭舊的故事, 爸爸淡淡然的叫我珍惜身邊的一切. 從此以後, 我每一次聽見這首歌, 心, 酸得快要爛掉一樣...... 小小的我發誓要珍惜身邊的那一隻小獅子; 雖然我現在才知道, 我當時沒有聽懂他那一番說話. 或者其實到現在也不能確切領會當中那意義.   雖然, 獅子都還在.
     
    Carrie 談起了她和我某一些類似的感受 (當然比我正面多了), 和這一些對創作的啟發.   我忽爾想起了她畫的BlackSheep, 也想起了石澳那間很有情調的BlackSheep; 石澳, 一個我少年時常常躲在那兒發呆的地方. 一呆就是一整個下午, 或者黃昏, 什至夜晚. 或者, 在我心底深處, 我覺得我就是那一隻小怪獸吧. 
     
    ~ 獨自架車回家的途中, 浸在空氣中一點點長久未有的共鳴裡 ~ 
     
    很想有人可以教我怎樣可以用一個好方法去珍惜自己身邊的一切, 不要讓我想珍惜的時候, 已經是太遲了;  雖然事情總沒有對錯, 但心下隱隱然覺得不對勁的時候, 通常已經是太遲了, .... (你地唔好唱果首愛得太遲哇, 首歌已經爛左啦)
     
    這兩年, 斷斷續續的感受到生命的無常; 有些話, 不能說出口; 唯有看書, 看了很多不同類型的書, 以為可以安慰自己; 發覺原來不能, 但是自己卻可以令自己變得快樂一些;  就是簡單地去相信某一些已經是最好.....
     
    告訴你們, Blacksheep 原來已經不再存在了, 但想起燒鵝瀨還在, 已經是滿心溫暖的了. 還有义燒河呢 !
     
    但是偶爾就是有這一些些微的溫柔, 照亮了我的回憶, 令長大了的怪獸對自己有更多的反思.
