To You

 :grandmas


/1/

Little did I know grandma

that today the sun was burning my skin till red

And just this morning I saw her enjoying the meal in peace. 

I joined her 

I pulled the chair with impatience

but it would never distract her from the joy

 

This sunny day made the flowers bloom in her eyes

She was reborn from a restful night and I envy her

The motionless ocean danced on her skin,

Stories in odor unfolded: 

The top notes whispered, "It was jasmin with its tiny petals

dancing equinoctially in her bedroom."

Her magical smile turned into cloves

From her teacup, she slowly sipped the sweetness 

and embraced her eighty-first luck 


Then she wondered,

"Do you know how to mend a heart?"


She had to let her soul, my mother's father, go

She did not complain

From her voice, wisdom shared 

With a hint of betel leaf, life offered her respect.

Yesterday was rainy and bathed me wet

What about tomorrow, will it be cloudy

and mute all the colors like the TV shows in the '50s

Or windy and brush my tangled hair

before I could wash my hair which grows greasy?

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...

The Most Precious Thing

To my fiancé, thank you for being a strong man even when hard times still hit that hard. Your 'cegil' is so proud of you. Dear Dadda K, to be with you has taken me to love myself more. Thank you for being gentle and listening to me and us. I have never felt less as a woman because I finally found my real power. Through the peaks and valleys, through the lengthy journey, I do believe the right train will never pass us by. In this horse year, let's be more kind to each other. Let kindness be the beginning of our story. Dear Daddy K, there were moments I might be afraid of losing us. The worries somehow spiraling. At the end I have to decide and take an action of not letting the hassle consuming me more. The peace, positivity, and tenderness are greater. This morning I looked at myself through the mirror. I asked, "who is this girl I see?" It instantly brought me back to you. I am loved, and your actions are the living proof. It's not only a love letter. I wrote ...

The Awakening of New Energy

This one week, my mind buzzed. I know I had a lot to express. I always feel the urge to talk to people and barely know when to stop. I love creating world with words. Words are playground to me. Sometime I could slide, hop, roll forward, slither, or simply sit and watching people passing by. It's not a bout fun, but it's the awareness of creating more and more. 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 🤍
