  • A Smile in the Dark Night

    Dedicated for the Lost Girl

    The night has never been that dark. This is a Sunday of nothing. There’s a girl i knew, walking alone, before i ran after her. she told me under the dark sky and whispering wind ‘..i am lost, i dont know what i feel. half of me was death, my breath hardly kept me alive, the sun hated me, the moon embarassed of me..’

    I than remembered Dewa’s Kosong ‘..di dalam keramaian, aku masih merasa sepi, sendiri memikirkan kamu,..’ I’ve been there, in other circumstance. Aint gonna tell you I know how you felt, cause I dont.

    I’ve been lost. I once dont know what i feel. Part of me was death, and also my breath hardly kept me alive. I know the sun also hated me, burning me. The important matter is to learn the persistence of passion, learn the burning spirit of life.

    ‘..We are lost till we are found..’. So dont worry, you will be found. Never let the loneliness kill you nor your life. Life’s hard enough. Stand up! Light up the dark. Love the sun, forgive the world. Aim the stars, change their formation. Beat your heart, and like Coldplay said ‘God put a smile upon your face’.

    Never tired on life. I aint no God telling you life’s good. I aint no prayer tellin you ‘it will all be over’. It is yours to decide the path. Forget the damn rules. Live your life!

  • Two Songs For Hedli Anderson

    For all the victims of Mandala Airlines Flight MZ 727,

    Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
    Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
    Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
    Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

    Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
    Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
    Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
    Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

    WH Auden
