Sore Itu

Sore itu

--tersebab dhini

Seperti ada hasrat di air-air mengalir
Lewat batu-batu di bawah kaki
Dan sungai-sungai kecil yang
Belum cukup dewasa

“itu, di atas kepalamu
Awan putih yang baru lahir
Ia bermain dalam lindungan ibunya
Dan kadang gemetar
Oleh panggilan ayahnya yang
Suka pecah sendiri”

Sampai tiba-tiba mataku memerah
Dan terkunci di antara lantai yang dingin dan licin
Bersama percikan air yang semakin basah
Seiring bertambahnya usia senja

Mungkin begitu mahal bagi orang-orang
Yang bermukim di tanah limbah
Untuk sekedar menukar jatuhan air pertama
Yang turun dari rahim langit di sana

”begini saja
Kalau besok waktuku masih cukup untuk keluar
Melihat air-air jatuh di depan jendela
Akan segera kukirimkan doa beserta sejuknya
Supaya orang-orang di tanah limbah
Mengingat kembali kanak-kanaknya
Untuk bermain, lalu berkejar-kejaran
Seperti senja kemarin!”

I will try to invest 1 hour each day to write, to think, to get lost, to be found, to express, and write again. Over and over. I hope there will be more people connect and read me. Insya Allah 🤍

Choices

There will always be the first time for everyone. The first time to hear, the first time to feel, the first time to move, the first time to breathe and cry, the first time to drink, the first time to eat, the first time to respond, the first time to play, the first time to play together and solve the very own problem, the first time to enter school, the first time to teach, the first time to talk and engage with numerous audience, the first to be and do anything. . .till it becomes one day. . .the thing that was hard and challenging, could become a piece of cake. It takes courage, it takes sweat and tears, it takes sleepless nights, it takes restless days, it takes commitment, it takes everything. Maybe it takes your happiness away either. It may seem scary and it may seem crazy. It requires self and stress management. I always have choices amongst these options. I commence to reflect. Back then, I love to  compare people, wether it would be worth it or not at all. I compare A to B...

And I Said Yes, I Will

Mi amor, my love, Daddy K I said yes to our next journey, thick and thin I said yes to our progress, I'm all set I said yes to the mornings with tears and migraines  and to the nights with hugs and gentle kisses  I said yes to a lifetime prayer till Jannah This ring has given us power and awareness, love and affection, passion and patience, anxiety and peace, uncertainty and assurance, fears and courage, doubt and commitment, comfort over stormy days The knot we tie in this ring, cannot be wiped out Our loyalty worth more than anything we have And may Allah send us guidance, always Oct 2025
