KATA PENGANTAR

Puji syukur kehadirat Allah SWT yang telah menganugerahi penulis dengan karunia dari-Nya berupa kesehatan, dan kesabaran dalam menjalani jalan cerita kehidupan yang beraneka warna dan rasa. Alhamdulillah… Puisi adalah salah satu bentuk karya sastra yang mengoptimalkan penggunaan Bahasa di tingkat metafora dan mendayagunakan kekuatan diksi dan konteks. Namun, puisi bisa juga dipahami dari sudut pandang stylistics (ilmu yang mempelajari Style dalam Bahasa, yakni paduan antara bidang ilmu Linguistika dan Kesusastraan). Ketika sebuah karya puisi dibaca oleh pembaca sastra, pemaknaan pesan yang ter-refleksi di dalam sebuah puisi akan berbeda-beda pada setiap pembaca. Justru, inilah inti penting dari sebuah karya sastra. Ia tidak mendikte, juga tidak memberikan arti lepas di luar diksi yang tertulis. Kearifan pembaca sering terpantul dari kepiawaiannya di dalam memahami dan memaknai bahasa tertulis yang dibingkai melalui seni, alias the touch of soul in each word of the poem. Sastra tidak selalu memberikan hasil pada saat ini bila ditanya significance untuk pembangunan, namun sastra menyentuh jauh ke dalam kalbu manusia, yang justru di sana letak kunci peradaban ketika ia dibaca dan diselami dengan baik pesan dan makna yang disampaikannya. Bukankah Bahasa mencerminkan Bangsa? Buku yang sedang anda baca ini adalah buku kumpulan puisi yang telah saya tulis sejak tahun 2007 hingga tahun 2018. Dalam kurun waktu tersebut, saya telah menuliskan 42 puisi, yang pada umumnya saya tulis di waktu-waktu

Puisi-Puisi & Poems

dan situasi yang berbeda, pada saat munculnya inspirasi. Puisi-puisi yang saya tulis lebih dominan berbahasa Inggris, meskipun ada beberapa puisi yang berbahasa Indonesia. Di tahun 2007, saya mempublikasikan puisi ini ke dalam blog pribadi, yaitu Sparkling Silent Silhouette (https://www.syayidss.com/). Setelah 11 tahun berlalu sejak puisi pertama saya di tahun 2007 tersebut, saya terinspirasi untuk menjadikannya sebuah buku di tahun 2020 ini, sebagai warisan dari saya untuk generasi Indonesia, khusus di bidang Sastra, khususnya dalam bentuk Puisi. Ucapan terima kasih saya sampaikan kepada Penerbit Amerta Media yang telah membantu dan kemudian menjadikan buku ini bisa hadir ke tangan pembaca sekalian yang budiman. Akhir kata, besar harapan adanya buku ini bisa memperkaya khasanah literasi kesusastraan untuk generasi Indonesia saat ini hingga ke masa yang akan datang, khusus bidang Puisi berbahasa Inggris yang ditulis oleh penulis berkebangsaan Indonesia. Setiap pembaca, berhak untuk memaknai puisi yang saya tulis ini dari sudut pandang apapun, dan dari dimensi manapun, dengan tujuan untuk mencari kemurnian indahnya bahasa, dan menggali esensi diri sebagai manusia, dan bertanya dengan lembut pada hati: “Aku ini, Siapa? Who am I?” Terima kasih.

Poem “You are the One I Love”

you Just to show that I love you Even all days are just passing me by but now, each day has something to cherish because you are with me by and by until we satisfy all, our wish

Honey, just be with me every time you are in cold let me by the love I have to take you out from the cold

Listen to the tenderly nights speak to you and, right over here, in your arms, I kiss and I say

I love you…

Padang, June 4, 2007.

The one I love is you You, you and you are alone I am happy to know you

Now, all the sorrows I feel are gone Because of loving you

When the sun in the morning rises every day, I will wake you up By touching the smooth of your lips and making your spirit as the shining stars up

And, every beat of us, we can touch the silent nights When we are not free but in tight

Tell me, what I can do for

Puisi-Puisi & Poems

Deep down in the calm green ocean I breathe over the swimming motion escaping from my in limbo-land and now I am walking in a no-land place

Looking through the blue place

Showing me prodigious earth I’ve never walked

Feeling like I am a ghost

Touching all the rugged things in a no-host

Much eccentric fish says ‘hi!’ Some arein the ocean’s flyover though, sometimes, they forewarn me to be in a forthcoming gloom and now,

I imbue with no great salvation

Will this ocean let me in?

though I am not a fish, not even a water I am a human

(Taplau, 2007)

Puisi-Puisi & Poems

To the mirror and the blue lakeHave you ever seen your face there?How does it look?

To the air of life and the flow of soulHave you ever tasted the silence?How does it feel?

The air and the moon of a graveyard worldWill, they let you die?

Even if you are a miserable wretchWill you be crying?

You are aloneAlways be alone but your shadow

All the darkest night you

weep inPut you to the miserable end

The smallest one, glittering out a blastIt speaks to be touched

Shall it end with no hope?

Right there, yes, right there

Let your heart speaks...

Poem “Let Your Heart Speaks”



Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

Seeing the starry night

We both in tight, be the knight

We, together, face the long lonely – fight

Reaching the peace of a light

We both wish upon the river

The stone and the ice of water We melt them forever

As they are bare, ever

Wishing you, my woman, be the candle

You hold me, give me a handle

You, my woman, be held as mine

Forever, we will be fine

Poem“We”



Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

Walking in the park an iPod on my ear

A Nasturtium attracts me

I touch and smell its’ fragrance

What a beautiful flower I feel

Then, I walk

Many flowers in the park They are invulnerable although many trees drop their leaves will I make a bouquet from this park?

Though this earth is spacious my eye catches a beautiful cygnet

in its’ family, it is so beautiful to see this scenery kills my strong vehement although it is a hindsight action

Oh, God! or, it is a delusion flower? but the daisy attracts me, too

What a conundrum although nasturtium is no yet a park but a paradise of elusive flowers…

(My Home Garden, a favorite spot when I am sad) –

Poem“The Flowers in a Park”



Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

The bees fly in the parkthey look for flowers to collect thousands of nectar one bee recluses itself the bee has no wings to fly It qualms in the ground the bees see the flowers like a pendulum moving right and left with beautifully the recluse bee sees the other bees they just slipshod ‘carte blanche?’, the bee asks ‘nectar! nectar!’, they said screamingly marring the nasturtium and dandelion

the bee protect the flowers but an elf comes like a phantom the frenzy things end the elf is inquisitive to them only the bee, then, becomes a linchpin…

Poem“The Bees”



Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

In the green forest, I walked in a slow motion

Seeing the great tall trees around me, circled like a round plate

At that time, it was in a night

My eye caught a blue shining star above my head I saw what it was

You know what was it?

It was the blue sparkling star

Lonely in its place, but shining more than a sun

Filling the empty and cold night

Then, I felt my hands touched it

I felt flying to the sky above

To feel the warmth of the blue sparkling star (My home garden, ‘imagination’, 2007)

Poem“The Blue Sparkling Star”


Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

In a good morning day, when the sun rises so clear,

I had a walk to my younger brother and sister’s school.

They are still in elementary school.

You know what I saw there?

I never believe that children are the angels of all men.

When I enter the class, they said, ‘Hi…’

They all smiled cheerfully.

Oh my God, I never believe that The beauty of Angels’ Smile is in children’s face

No matter what,are we still the angel?or we have been being a devil?

God knows…

Poem“The Beauty of Angels’ Smile”

Puisi-Puisi & Poems

Dari keheningan malam yang sepi,seorang rupawan bersuara indah menyapaku

Ia hadir di antara bintang-bintangdirinya begitu mempesona bagai purnamacantik di kala malam

suara-suaranya menggema di telingamengisi malam-malam yang sepientahlah…mungkinkah ia akan ada di sisiku ini

mengisi malam-malam hening dengan ditemani sebuah lilin unguingin sekali aku menatap matanya yang sendumenyentuh tangannya yang lembutmemeluk tubuhnya seraya berbisik padanya,‘aku dan kau, kita bersaudara….’

biarkan kita tumbuh bersama angin malam yang bersemilir halus

menghiasi sejuknya kalbu di kala kita dilanda cinta…

Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

Di keremangan malam, berlapis-lapis udara bersemilirmembentuk aura kegelapan, pekat dan mengerikan

Manusia-manusia berteriak, bersumpah serapah, memaki-maki, membunuhtawa bengis dan jiwa kejam seakan bangkit dari kubur

Seketika, detik-detik berlalu, hening…

Segaris cahaya putih menyembur dari angkasa hitam

Menghujam ke rumah-rumah

Hening…hening…hening…sesaat

manusia-manusia itu terpana, apa itu?

Rengek tangis bayi, memecah kepekakan manusia-manusia lembah itu

lembah hitam, pekat, berbau dan jorok

Mereka berkerumun dan bertanya-tanya apakah itu?manusia itu gembira,

Puisi“Anak Manusia”

Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

bertambah satu anggota mereka, pikirnya

dengan waktu, bayi itu pun menjadi manusia

manusia, terbentuk karena manusia di sekitarnya

akankah anak manusia tumbuh sendiri?tidak, sekali lagi tidaklalu, cahaya yang ada di dalam dirinya yang redup

ia lupa dari mana ia berasal

kesucian berganti kemunafikan

sebuah misteri atau angurah ilahi tercipta

anak manusia mengais-ngais dalam kehidupan

tumbuh, membesar, berkembang, bergenerasiterus menerus, bergerombol, bertambah banyak atau menyendiri

hingga akhirnya

satu per satu, mati, berkubang tanah, atau terbakardan, mereka kembali ke asal cahaya

meninggalkan lumpur

atau mutiara di tempat pertama

mereka menjadi manusia

Puisi-Puisi & Poems

Many nights seemed to be full of starsIn fact, I am here, sitting in a dusty river, alone

Facing the light of the moon, shines in the water

I feel my leg on the coldtouching the untouched sky with the hand

My fantasy then swims deep through the river

seeing the magnificent world of underwater

Then, I jump, flying to the sky above

Feeling like I am a little white doveBut, I am here, sitting

Facing the stars, that is glittering

I whisper deep through the heart of mine

To see the eyes of my own shadow

A worse, a witch, and a humble creature that is

to have a such great face in mine

No, my dear,

Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

Larut dalam kesunyian

Hampa dalam kedukaan

Berdiri di atas menara ini melihat kehidupan manusia beraneka ragam dan berwarna sendiri, sendiri dan sendiri

Hidup sendiri di atas dunia ini

Ingin terbang di antara bayang-bayang senja ditatap indahnya senyum sang mentari kuning, gemerlap, emas

Langit pun seperti kapas dingin, putih dan beku

Lihat masjid di sana akankah ia menjadi hotel?

Melihat gunung, ia acuh dan sombong misteri dan beku namun, indahnya alam dapat dilihat dari gunung saja

Kumenyelam di teduhnya samudera tenang, dalam dunia beriak lain namun, membunuhku, manusia

Berlari mengejar bintang ingin kupeluk kini, hanya sepi, sendiri dan sendiriDalam temeramnya hati

Berjuta rasa bernaung di dada

Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

Alam ini indah

Bumi ini megahPenciptanya pasti lebih dari ini semua

Tapi, mengapa manusia merusaknya?

Salah siapa? Salah siapa?

Sapaan gelombang bergemuruh bagai berkata

Ia menyampaikan sesuatu Tapi apa?

Kenapa mesti pohon kelapa tumbuh di pantai saja? Dunia manusia hanya materi semata Dan, dunia ini fana termasuk cinta dan persahabatan

Hanya Allah SWT. yang akan selalu menemani hati ini Ia Yang Maha Pengasih Lagi Maha Penyayang

Ambillah dan perihalah cintaku untuk-Mu, ya Allah SWT…

Jika duduk di tepi pantaiberhiaskan karang-karang dan batu air

Gelombang laut tak pernah berhenti

Gelolmbang besarperlahan dan pasti menjadi gelombang kecil

Begitu seterusnyadi segenap penjuru dunia

Begitu juga kehidupanada permulaan, ada akhir

Kita sering tidak bisa menahan pertengahan

Begitu menghanyutkan

Apa daya

kita hanya manusiatidak penuh berkuasa atas diri kita

Ada kelahiran, ada kematian

Ada persahabatan, ada permusuhan

Semuanya ada pertengahan

Antara pantai dan samudra bebas

Gelombang besar ada di pertengahan

Sanggupkah kita merangkuh dayungperahu kecil kita yang lemah, hingga keterjalnya pantai dengan kecilnya

perahu yang melajukan kita?

Laut kehidupan…

Akankah kita sanggup bertahan bila perahu pecaholeh gelombang pertengahan…

Sanggupkah kita berenangAtau tenggelam, dan,Mati di laut kehidupan?

Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

Seringkali, ada terbersit tanya di dalam hati,

“Hidup ini penuh warna. Namun, warna itu… tidak ada rupa dan rasa, warna apakah yang cocok untuk kehidupan ini?”

Bagai terbang di antara gemerlapnya bintang, lalu redup di balik misteri senyum sang rembulan

Tangis dan tawa bagai dua sahabat erat berganti rupa silih berganti, dalam rasa dan citra

Di satu sisi, begitu indah, elok dan mempesona

Di sisi lain, begitu pilu dan merebak jiwa

Ada elegan ditemani keangkuhan Ada kebaikan berselaput keinginan Ada kepintaran tanpa kecerdasan Ada rasa iba ditutupi secercah harapan

Kadang menoleh di antara karang-karang kehidupan Lobang-lobang menganga berisi gambar beraneka

Kehidupan ini memang indahDihiasi oleh bingkai harta dan kemewahan

Puisi-Puisi & Poems

Suara-suara gemuruh puja dan puji Canda tawa para raja dan ratu di malam hari

Bertemani permadani sang adam dan hawa Luluh melantakkannya caci maki

Namun terkadang,sesekali menyeruak suara keledai mengasung gambar-gambar fitnah, menebar tarian dan goyangan prasangka, dan mengajak mencicipi brownies kukus toko gunjing

Kehidupan pun berubah menjadi kelam, namun, di sela-sela batu licin, dan berlumut memantul senoktah bayang keemasan mentari senja yang indah

bagai senyum polos sang bayi, tanpa dosa di sanalah cinta ditemukan

Sayang, seribu sayang, ia sekejap menghilang, samar-samar tertutupi rona nafsu

Perlahan, karang pun kembali seperti dulu hitam dan kotor

Dari kejauhan langit, ternyata memang benar, tanpa adanya gelombang, pantai itu tidak akan pernah disebut pantai, tapi hanya semilir gemerisik bunyi air bercinta dengan pasir lemah

Seindah laut biru, sementara, memantulkan warna-warni kehidupan


Puisi-Puisi & Poems


Puisi-Puisi & Poems

tanpa rasa malu, tidak ada masa kini masa kini penting, masa depan tidak penting, atau masa lalu penting, masa kini tidak, masa depan apalagi

masa, ah, masa mereka hanya masa

Mereka hilang ditelan pudarnya cinta Ilahi

Tapi Ia selalu ada di sana, melihat dengan sayang-Nya hingga masa menjadi seonggok abu ditiup angin

Kehidupan, bergolak seperti pantai, menarik yang ia dapat, menolak yang telah ia dapatkan.__________________________

It was just good to know you,And I know that we could be so close, as if it was expressed in your eyes, and, as the moon shines, reflecting your beauty

I never realized that I’ve met her The one whom I always looking for She gave me a splendid-torch bringing a warm-light such a star warming the cold-night

If only you would want to know her She is more than just a girl But you are more than what I need I just fancied having a creature beside me

And you, you were always around me Seeing me crying, Feeling all my deep pain in sharing, most of all, listening to the heart of mine, dyingYour smile such a sweet

melody in the early morning Hers is so tasty Let me choose the smiling oneThe smile is the sweetener in life

It kills me with a thousand arrows and swords again, it is not the beauty that off me

it is the smile of a mysterious lady recovering all the pain finishing the incomplete paths to paradise

__________________________

To my former close-friend in Elementary and Junior

High School, thank you for giving me a chance to see

your smiling again, although the white-bed has kept

you in the cold-night for days in the medical room.

Hope you are well soon. “If the happy times we used

to have were here in my heart, I would want to give

it to you, dearest friend. I am so lonely without you”

I know you as like knowing the other And, you just the others for meUntil one day, I found your smile was so difficult to be touched But, when the day had gone to the north I could feel that you smiled at me In that brown face In the way that I could not understand So beautifulWe’ve been far away in a great distance but you were always there for me wishing all the best for me and all the good things for

me for all people around me for my family and, to the bottom of my heart, God, please, listen I am wishing the same thing goes to that person tooIt is such confusing me for what I have now How could we meet in that short time Then, you went just like nothing happened Even from afar, you still want to hear me cry like a kid needing a candy even without making any sound but you cared a lotI never know how you see me but, I am glad to have you as

Puisi-Puisi & Poems

The sun was setting in the east of an early morning A goldish light touched the earth So beautiful

I saw the sky with the orange color Refreshing my mind from the nightmares The nights with thousands of tears As a child without a mother Crying out loud in the darkness of a foolish crowd

This morning, things have suddenly changed Hearing a sound of music of the earth In a passionate touch of nature With a sweet tea in my hand I see your smile at me in that silver-blue silk

Remembering me to the angel of love And, it was you Feeling like I am the singing yellow bird Having a beautiful nest in a green tree of heaven Everything will be different without you ‘Cause you are the angel of my heart

And I am the singing yellow bird The singing yellow bird Flying in the golden morning of the smiling east

Puisi-Puisi & Poems

For a moment, that happened No warm smile that touches the sky so cold and blue Feeling like I was in the middle of a desert so dry I turned my sight to that path trying to understand, but there was a feeling of guilt inside me or it was only an illusion? I saw that rain, but, my skin touched nothing all were as if the frightening hallucination of the time in a darkest silent night I felt down on a river that was so heavenly but,

the more I swam into it, the more the water felt like millions of nails they broke my skin slowly till bleeding and I have almost died for that painful struggling I waved my hand to the empty air there was nothing so empty is it the feeling of real but does not exist? I saw that shadow of mine in that surface of cold river it was looking like it was imagining something reflecting my face with no precise details as I had in mine whose face that was?

Poem“The Sigh of the Desert”

Puisi-Puisi & Poems

At last, I would then live this desert will there be rain falling for it? Will the rain turn it into the sweet memories in children’s’ books? or, it would be the saddest story again as it was always? Will it be a place where all my bones are left unnoticed and perish by the times? Leaving the worse story over that broken window? All remain unanswerable long I had seen that face the face of the beautiful moon smiling like peace of love waving its hand to me and said, “please, come here...”

and, after all these feelings, I sit down into the hot sand of the desert, and I knew that shadow would always be as mine ah, shadow wish you always be here accompanying the faces in the desert for the time I would be gone far away no return

As I opened these eyes to see the darkness I barely couldn’t sleep well that night I was trying to look out from the window to see the silent of the night That moment, the stars were standing prettily above smiling and dancing one another beautifully… On the left side of the stars there was the moon standing lonely surrounded by the stars

on the dark night in the sky his face was so pale and blue as the king of all dreams or all nights And then, I was searching for the warm side of the night it was barely anywhere, but… ever since I put these hands on this chest there was a melody, of every beat of this heart it speaks as the calm and peaceful sound of a lake saying, “I am the moon” It was such a pain to love for never expecting to be loved

Whispering in a blue beach near the windowI see people laughing freelyFeeling as if no tears to be keptHoping that life runs well as a shining moon Down in the park,A lonely boy is sitting in the benchWe feel like we are the sameLonely As I come near himHe cries“All I need is a Love”, he saidI cry “Where are your mom and dad?” I ask“They are busy with their own. I am left alone”When I look at into his eyesI feel an angle there, waiting to be touched

Days and days passWe are getting closerNow I know, love can turn to everyoneEven to someone, we think only as a friend I have love nowLove of a young boyAnd I am his biggest brotherTill he finds his parents againTo go far away left me alone And the moon is shining so blueWhile I am here, waiting for someone new to come To touch me a loveTo warm with a loveLove

It was such a nice warmest day I had in the yardshe was there, looking at the blue little sweet smell flowerIn a second, she stares at me as if she is so close in the eyeBut, again, I was just as silent as a dodo Could I know that she feels my heartYeah, nobody knows that she kills me with the knife in her heartSo painSo darkSo yellow in the mudI am dying and it’s all gone

But, someone came and smiledThen, the dark disappear as such a rainbow in the bird nestSo beautifulBut, again, I should have not known that personCause it broke my heart all apartWhen I know that I was just a doll for the person Lovely blue beach, Padang, Indonesia

The time I feel now is the one that is the most silent oneI can’t sleep, even though,I felt sleepy in my sightI woke up and saw the watch laying lazily on my deskIts click makes a sound, tik tik tik… as if it speaks to me saying,“It is three and a half in the morning. You should sleep…”I whisper in my solitude…Do you know what I hear at this time?Silence, a really, really moment of silence,The sounds of the night speak to my earSinging as if I am listening to the voices of thousands of fairies and angels in this dark-blue sky

And the stars that hide shyly in their wisdomFar away over there, asking me to come to their place and dance with themI look at the deer outside, eating the grass, in its peaceful smile,But, I know I wake up for no reasonI do feel the crowd coming to my mind at this kind of timeListening to the silenceWiping all miserable words people sayErasing all valueless of crowd, hypocrisies, money, and prestigeA friendship that is only superficialThe friendship that is only made through the heart and pure care?Silence has spoken all the truth

Dignity, such a word Compassion… Lovely… in that shining day of a love that is meant only to feel between two pure souls in their beautiful ornaments, in their mutual differences, of everlasting similarities…

In this balcony, seeing those lovely birds, and trees hiding their blossoms, Those birds are really beautiful in their nature… Jumping and eating the seeds, their sounds, the winds…

Seeing all how this nature works, and the sun that is elegantly showing his light, beautiful… These things, remind me of how nature works in me, of how me, works with and in nature,

Nature presents such beautiful delights, but men, those men, seem to destroy everything… with no mercy, greediness, arrogance, irresponsibility, money…Although…

the days are still passing by there would be many more choices in life, providing many beautiful delights… with, of course, many consequences, to take but those… if only men can see them, approach them, through such beautiful eyes, in the name of love and mercy, that the Creator has given us to lead on this earth. Be the one, that leads all creatures on

earth. And, He, is indeed, watching You, for everything that you do… You are indeed, not alone… To Him, you will be back.Every living thing shall taste, dying, at one moment in time… But, when?Are you ready?

White…

Tiny little white things

Falling from the sky covering the brown soil and the sleeping trees like rain, feels like a blessing for the earth in crowdedness, many…

Leaving the feelings, entangled by the flying snow here and there…

The blue sky is covered, as if, by a mist Presenting the scenes of mystery

The eyes couldn’t bare enough to see, how the sun is shining covered by the thick cloud up above,

though he might be shy this time…

I look upon the paths in front of me, and the ground,

Everyone is in the house

A warm house, with warm people, with warm heart, Sipping a coffee or a hot chocolate milk Enjoying every minute of conversation Browsing… Reading books, or writing a meaningful poem, Making cookies, Telling stories to children or, sleeping, killing times…

Far from afar, that sounds begin to appear I hear them slowly in a

With melody and tones that I couldn’t recognize, Feeling like every bit of snow is singing, Reminding me of something Unknown, but real…The sounds of every snow, sparkling in its own, touching the ground, Animals, Winds, Trees, Soils, Everything…Dancing together, performing the Music of the White Winter And Cold, with Severe Mode, but, Lovely to See…

For a person who never sees any snowSoon, the music will change In every beat With the same sounds of

nature, Na na na… La la la… to Welcome the beauty of the spring season all year round… again, and again

Until you will leave all these seasons for someone new

Praying for you, in your Solitude of the Never Ending Days, in the Afterlife

Undang-Undang...

Hukum.

Buatan, Rekaan, dan Hasil Perbuatan Manusia, di alam pikiran.

Mereka jadikan rujukan, lalu berevolusi menjadi Tuhan.

Entah itukah kini, jadi kebenaran?

Mereka sembah, bagai tak boleh disanggah.

Nun jauh di sana, di negeri Tuhan dianggap tiada,

Uang adalah tujuan semata,

Berlomba-lomba dalam harta,

Ketika jenuh melanda, pada harta yang tak buat bahagia, mereka merajalela, pada bangsa-bangsa, yang dulunya sejahtera, mereka hisap bagai tak jera, melalui pemimpin tak berhati lara, tenggelam dalam indahnya,

daripada berjati diri, namun hanyut dalam kealpaan diri, tumpuan harapan segenap negeri, disisihkan bagai tak ada arti.

Betul kata Ulama, Iman terletak di dada, terpatri dalam langkah dan tingkah yang nyata, namun Tuhan, Allah SWT namanya, sengaja tak menunjukkan rupa,

Ia tahu dan tak pernah lupa,

Semua akan kembali pada-Nya,

Agar ada pembeda Jawara dan Juara, di dunia yang Fana.

Meski berjuta berkata,

Evolusi ada di dunia, tapi gunung tiada berubah sejak dulu kala, dalam wujud-Nya tak berupa, ... Nanti,

Di saat Ia menunjukkan diri-Nya,

Ia akan bertanya dan berkata,“Mana Raja-Raja dan Penguasa yang dahulunya jadi Tumpuan kalian? Mana? Adakah mereka membela?”

Ah, Dua tempat itu...

Surga, Neraka itu...

Bila ada manusia kembali dari situ,

Tentu tak akan diturunkan-Nya Al-Qur’an itu,

Tsunami.

All of sudden.

No warning at all.

In what way I could be in denial to Your Power, Oh Almighty Allah?

This earth and this universe, including this body I have are Yours.

Please forgive us.

We, humans, sometimes do things that provoke Your anger.

You created us, and You can take us, anytime You want.

Please forgive us.

Please protect us from the flaws that we do.

Please open those hearts of people who still do actions that damage the essence of life in togetherness.

You created us in different conditions and in such different looks, and different ways and hows to get to know Who Created All This? Earth? This Nature? Please forgive us.

To those who chase a dream of an empty hollow

It’s a long long way to go if you want to work as a government employee, here, in this country.

The question is, “Who are you?

And, “Why should you be selected?”

I would rather work for common people instead, the civilians.

The wound is still there.

I will still do my best for nation and country, but I would think twice if it is for government, where greedy and images are......

I am sorry.

One day, maybe,

I am getting nowhere, for social status that seems to be a fantasy, but I still have honor.

Dignity.

Only the Brave knows it, while the kings, could defy it for selfish reasons.

In the world where truth and lies play a game,

I would stand in the corner where hearts meet kindness and smile

Only God, the Creator, knows itPadang, September 24, 2018

Pagi ini, 1440 Hijriyah,

bergantinya waktu, ukuran tahun

Tahun Hijriyah, tahun umat Islam di dunia

Setahun masa pun berlalu sudah,

Amal-amal, di antara pahala dan dosa pun, telah tercatat,

Akan terbaca kelak di akhir masa

Bumi yang terbentang luas, bukti karya-Mu Sang Maha Pencipta,

Engkau cipta manusia, berikut segala rupa kebutuhan mereka,

Pun rezeki telah Engkau susun, bahkan ketika mereka masih di alam-Mu

Detik demi detik begitu cepat berlalu,

Terkadang diri lupa,

Memahami betapa lemahnya diri ini, ingin berpahala, namun hati berselimut riya’, betapa diri ini lemah tanpa-Mu, jauh di lubuk hati, terasa begitu banyaknya dosa-dosa, hanya Engkau yang tahu,

Ampunan-Mu pun adalah segala-galanya

Ia yang penuh kasih, selalu memberi cinta

mendengar saja aku takut, apalagi melihat azab-Mu yang pedih, Rasa terima kasihku, mungkin tak cukup untuk-Mu, Kasih-Mu, Sayang-Mu, tak terhingga, Hanya Engkau yang bisa mengampuni dosa-dosaku, Wahai Sang Maha Pengampun, Mohon ampuni aku dan keluargaku, ya Allah. Aamiin”
