AKU BUKAN KARANG

Mendung tak tercatat disudut mata,
bukan berarti hujan tiada.

Ia menderas, hanya dilangit gelap:
hati yang kedinginan dalam sepi dan nyeri.

Kulit tak koyak oleh luka,
tak berarti darah tak mengucur.

Ia menganak sungai, hanya dicabik rindu:
harapan yang tersembelih dalam sepi dan nyeri.

O, Betapa aku letih kau gambar sebagai karang!

(Magelang, 19’10’96)

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.

Never regret a day in your life. Good days give you happiness; Bad days give you experiences. Both are essential to life (N.N)
