《睡莲》是一首七五言的小诗，最初写于约二十年前，也就是我初中时期，大约在2004年前后。那时的用词尚显稚嫩，写作技法也谈不上成熟，但我始终很喜欢这首词。正值沉迷金庸《天龙八部》的年纪，最难释怀的，便是阿朱未能与萧峰厮守的遗憾。倘若她生在今日穿越剧流行的年代，我倒宁愿她能撑着小舟，在小镜湖上轻唱，与萧峰一起，安静幸福地过完一生。
这首歌的重写起点，是因为我的一位学生请假去纽约看莫奈的画展。她特别喜欢《睡莲》系列，回来后滔滔不绝地分享观展所感，给了我创作的灵感。于是这首旧诗便重新浮出水面，化作如今这首带有江南意境的曲子。
视频最后的照片，是去年夏天在卡尔加里，一位朋友家中池塘里盛开的睡莲。那天阳光温柔，我们受邀去喝下午茶，池水盈盈，莲叶田田。人间的柔情与静好，恰如睡莲，在波光中悄然绽放。
愿有情人终成眷属，愿所有温柔的等待，都不被辜负。
“Water Lily” is a lyrical piece based on a short seven-five classical-style poem I wrote nearly 20 years ago, when I was still in middle school—around 2004. The words were simple and unpolished, but I have always had a special fondness for them. That was the age when I was deeply captivated by Jin Yong’s Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, and the unfulfilled love between Azhu and Qiao Feng left a lasting impression. If she had lived in today's world of romantic time-travel dramas, I imagine Azhu rowing a small boat across Mirror Lake, singing softly, and living a quiet, contented life by Qiao Feng's side.
The inspiration to turn this old poem into a song came when one of my students took a short trip to New York to see Monet’s Water Lilies. She returned full of excitement, telling me all about it, and our conversation stirred something in me. That childhood poem resurfaced, now clothed in the tranquil beauty of Monet’s palette and a melody shaped by memory and imagination.
The final photo in the video shows a water lily blooming in a friend’s backyard pond in Calgary, taken last summer. We had been invited for afternoon tea; the sunlight was soft, and everything was peaceful. In that quiet moment, I felt that all the tenderness of life still exists—like a water lily blooming silently on the rippling surface.
May all true hearts find one another. May every gentle waiting blossom into something eternal.
