千帆起航

                                                                                                          燈籠花憶童年

                                                                         小時後     每到元宵節     父親就會幫我買紅色的花燈籠

                                                                         也會幫哥哥和弟弟買關刀和輪船造型的花燈

                                                                          那個年代   民風保守    所有民間資源和經濟都不豐厚

                                                                          每年的元宵節花燈     買來買去就那幾樣

                                                                          元宵節過後   如果沒有火燒燈籠   

                                                                          父親會請家中的〝ㄚ桑〞幫忙      用報紙把燈籠包起來

                                                                           放到二樓的倉庫儲藏      隔年再用

                                                                          那時的燈籠都是手工製作    用細竹和透明的玻璃色紙結合而成

                                                                          不像現在都是塑膠製品     簡陋多了

                                                                           點臘蠋和點燈泡     氣氛上就是不一樣

                                                                           現在的燈籠     造型多樣化     供給量也倍增

                                                                           可是看到塑膠快速壓模的成品

                                                                            怎麼看就是少了故事性        少了人情味

                                                                             小時後        一盞小小的燈籠和你是有感情的

                                                                              燈籠的小竹把       連繫著你和他的密不可分

                                                                               你必須小心翼翼的走     否則臘蠋搖晃中

                                                                                燈籠可能就置身火海  

                                                                                至今   

                                                                                 我都還記住小時後提燈籠的那份謹慎和認真

                                                                                  現在    提燈籠的換成是我的漂亮小孫女

                                                                                  卻怎麼也買不回我童年的那盞花燈籠

                                                                                  峨眉湖路邊的這朵燈籠花

                                                                                   輕易的就勾起我五六十年前的童年回憶

                                                                                   回憶起父親為我買的花燈籠

                                                                                    回憶起離開我好多年的父親

                                                                                    父親     在峨眉湖畔     我深深的思念著你

                                                                                     ~~~~~思念著父親與童年的花燈籠~~~~~

                                                                                               童年的燈籠花

                                                                                      老樟樹的顏容〈你可以再靠近一點〉
