不知何时
                          郑板桥笔下的那片竹林
                          被谁移植到了这里
                          给黄溪山寨
                          平添了几份高度和诱惑

                          潺潺流淌的黄溪山泉
                          如歌如诉
                          像竹林里吹出的笛音
                          涤荡着千万游客的心
 
                          触摸拔高的竹节
                          仿佛在感受
                          这尘世的冷暖炎凉
                          不经意间
                          荡漾的心
                          已被反锁在这竹林的缝隙里……

                          用心解读这里的每一根竹
                          从盘根交错的根
                          到节节相连的每一个节
                          人的高度
                          竹子的高度
                          山的高度
                          在这里形成鲜明的对照

                          每一根竹根
                          如大地敏锐的神经
                          思索着山里人现在和将来的命运
                          每一根竹节
                          标记着山村走过的风雨里程
                          如一把长长的标尺
                          丈量着天与地的距离
                          丈量着山村过去和现在的高度……
