Lurking Behind The Tide

Written by: Me (obviously)

Verse 1:     In my mind, heart, soul,
There lies a dream within me
To succeed in what I ought to be,
That is to be the perfect me.

Chorus:      (There!) Lurking behind the tide
Are endless possibilities,
Awaiting to emerge,
To make it work, for you…

Verse 2:     Sometimes I drift aimlessly
Among the sea of scenes,
Dwelling in each encounter,
Hoping that it will finally be clear.

Chorus:      (While) Lurking behind the tide
Are endless possibilities,
Awaiting to emerge,
To make it work, for you…

Bridge:       How did I make things wrong from right?
How to distinguish the truth from lies?
Possibilities lurk at the back of my mind…
They make me frightened of reality.

Chorus:      (But) Lurking behind the tide
Are endless possibilities,
Awaiting to emerge,
To make it work, for you…

Lurking behind the tide
Are endless possibilities,
Awaiting to emerge,
To make it work, for you…

绝招

         雪茹和伙伴们时常比绝招,这次她们都集合在海边谈论。

         这时,雪茹注意到一位老伯伯正集中精神地画海边的细景。老伯伯的画格外出色,画面很吸引人们的注意力,又能够把风景画得非常生动。每小细节仿佛让雪茹看见眼前的情景一样。雪茹把这个绝招向伙伴们提出了,她们都觉得这是一种很难练出来的招儿。

         雪茹一直望着那位老伯伯,想着自己有什么绝招是最绝的。如果没有,要练出怎样的招儿呢?她沉默了好一会儿,听者海浪声和鸟儿的叫声,没有理会伙伴们讨论的事件。

         突然,西边传来了一阵叫喊声。雪茹立刻往痛喊声的方向奔跑过去。当她看见一只凶猛的野狗狠狠地咬着一位小男孩的左脚不放,她不顾一切,勇敢地接近危险的情景,凭自觉行动。伙伴们在后远处不停地劝她回去安全地,可是雪茹很有自信地趴在沙滩上,慢慢地往前走,有意思地把目光投向那只凶恶犬。

         不久,似乎发现有人在注视它,那只狗和雪茹对视了。它向她吠,表示她不要再靠近。雪茹稳定而有权威的眼神似乎表明了这是她们的领土,让它不要再侵入这里了。过了一会儿,那只恶犬认同了雪茹是这里的首领便撤退。

         当那只恶犬走远了,大家拥着那位受伤的小男孩和雪茹。伙伴们惊奇地凝视雪茹,羡慕地竖起大拇指说:“绝招,太绝了!”

         雪茹才意识到自己有多么独特的绝招。能和陆地动物,例如狗,沟通是个难得天生的本领。她原本已经是会体惜的人,但是万万没想到会以这种方式出绝招。这次的经历使她大开眼界。
