是花非花



優曇華

梵文優曇波羅(Udumbara),

亦作優曇婆羅、烏曇跋羅、優曇缽華、烏曇華等,

意譯靈瑞、瑞應。花名。

產於喜瑪拉雅山麓及德干高原、錫蘭等處。

花隱於壺狀凹陷之花托中,常誤以為隱花植物。

世稱其花三千年一開,

值輪王及佛出世方現,喻極 為難得的不世出之物。

佛經中常用以喻佛、佛法之難得,如《法華經·方便品》云:

「如是妙法,諸佛如來,時乃說之,如優曇缽華,時一現耳。」


「曇花一現」的 成語,即源出於此。

Lotus eaters


Spikey lady shiny queen

don't you tell them what you've seen

Plastic people silicon

never let them in your home

Don't become a middle man

keep your mouth shut if you can

Don't you tell them what you know

they will go anyway the wind blows

Be my best friend be my baby

I'll be there for you maybe

Don't get on the roller coaster

ya burn your fingers on the toasters

Just a fair weather friend

gone when the summer end

They will look into your eyes

tell you pretty perfume lies

Slinky slimy lotus eaters

jeepers creepers

get a load of those peepers

Talking all that mumbo jumbo

people pass in solo limbo

See them slip

see them slide

but have you seen the nasty side?

With all the smiling and kissing

listen to the hiss hiss hissing

She slip

she slide

she don't know why she hide

Dizzy little missy with a twinkle in her eye bye bye

Finger lickin' good

kill you if she could

dig it when you're down send in the clown

Don't let them poke

don't let them peek

their friendly chat is cheap

"You look so fine

you look so hip

you're styling makes me trip"

Take your place if they could

these are the people in your neighbourhood

Poking

peeking

sneaking

cheating

sniffing

sliding

A running and hiding

Creeping

crawling

feeling and mauling

Fickle little tickles

brains like pickles
