生住異滅

詩人巧妙地將這四個階段與四季結合。春代表「生」的徐徐顯現，夏代表「住」的流動維持，秋代表「異」的不可逆偏移，冬代表「滅」。但透過詩意的處理，此處的「滅」被懸置於「彷彿」之中，賦予了其重生與輪迴的開放意義。

The poet artfully aligns these four stages with the seasons: spring embodies the gradual emergence of “arising,” summer the sustained flow of “abiding,” autumn the irreversible shift of “changing,” and winter “ceasing.” Yet through poetic treatment, this “ceasing” is suspended within the realm of “as if,” endowing it with an open-ended sense of rebirth and cyclical return.
