《语言是窗户》鲁思•贝本梅尔

诗歌是心灵的语言！邀请你静下来、数呼吸，用心体会美好！

语言是窗户（否则，它们是墙）

你的话，我仿佛受了审判

无比委屈，又无人分辨，

在离开前，我想问，

那真的是你的意思吗？

.

在自我辩护前，

在带着痛苦或恐惧质问前，

在我用言语筑起心灵之墙前，

告诉我，我听明白了吗？

.

语言是窗户，或者是墙，

它们审判着我们，或者让我们自由。

在我说与听的时候，

请让爱的光芒照耀我。

.

我心里有话要说，

那些话对我如此重要，

如果言语无法传达我的心声，

请你帮我获得自由好吗？

.

如果你以为我想羞辱你，

如果你认定我不在乎你，

请透过我的言语，

倾听我们共有的情感。

——鲁思·贝本梅尔（Ruth Bebermeyer）

Words Are Windows (Or They’re Walls)

I feel so sentenced by your words

I feel so judged and sent away

Before I go I got to know

Is that what you mean to say?

Before I rise to my defense,

Before I speak in hurt or fear,

Before I build that wall of words,

Tell me, did I really hear?

Words are windows, or they’re walls,

They sentence us, or set us free.

When I speak and when I hear,

Let the love light shine through me.

There are things I need to say,

Things that mean so much to me,

If my words don’t make me clear,

Will you help me to be free?

If I seemed to put you down,

If you felt I didn’t care,

Try to listen through my words

To the feelings that we share.
