嫘  祖  遥  思 

                    

                 从传说中来 

                 在龙和玄鸟以前 

                 你人类的祖母 

                 生活在沮水岸边 

                 ﹙你悠悠的长发与沮水一样长么﹚ 

                 青青桑林下 

                 矮矮草屋里 

                 该有一盏氤氲的松油灯 

                 照你恍若神妃的朱颜照你 

                 静穆如太初的笑靥 

                 照你不朽的失眠照你 

                 失眠的蚕宝宝 

                 ﹙窗外必有络丝娘和促织殷勤的歌吹﹚ 

                 那是怎样一只纤巧的手 

                 在络子的咿咿呀呀里 

                 上下翻飞 

                 你眼中必含满异彩 

                 缫车上绽放一缕 

                 华夏最初的文明之光 

                 而今 村南村北响缫车

                 听你余音袅袅的纺谣

                 红男绿女身上

                 飞扬你永不凋萎的神采

                 而今 一万里丝绸之路 

                 闪耀你永不褪色的骄傲

                 六十亿芸芸众生 

                 葆你永不冰冻的体温 

                 ﹙五千年风雨 你 仍未老﹚
