Yang Fana Abadi

: Pak Benny Hoed, Pak Sapardi

Seperti daun yang bernapas di ranting
Saat sore dan hujan pun telah lewat
Sejak bulan Juni, udara terasa berat dan kering
Lalu bisakah kita menghirup oksigen yang sama
dan membagi karbon dioksidanya pada pohon yang tak pernah mengeluh telah hidup begitu lama
mencatat berbagai peristiwa ganjil dengan bijak, penemuan paling mutakhir, uji coba senjata perang, pergolakan ekonomi saat krisis global, pembunuhan seorang aktivis kemanusiaan, penjarahan toko-toko sepanjang '98, demo besar-besaran di Hongkong, impor rempah dari Vietnam dan Thailand ke dunia barat, hingga pandemik yang belum tentu berakhir di akhir tahun ini?
2020, daun-daun yang hijau segar itu mencoba menipu kita
Sebab tidak mesti menunggu layu dan menguning
Ia pun fana, yang fana abadi


Semarang, 2020

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

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...
