I will not walk with your progressive apes, erect and sapient...

if by God's mercy progress ever ends,

and does not ceaselessly revolve the same

unfruitful course with changing of a name.


...Then looking on the Blessed Land 'twill see,

that all is as it is, and yet made free...

~J.R.R. Tolkien~


As a fire when kindled

makes fuel into ash,

so the fire of wisdom

makes actions into ash.

~Bhagavad Gita 4:37~

Memoir 2101


[Klik untuk Bahasa Indonesia]

Tried to write down tones as words,
On account to that first note I heard this morning

Tried to write down tones as words,
On account to those notes I heard this evening

Above the dry winter,
Above the survived green pine leaves,
Under the blue sky which took me away, dreaming
Melodies came like a messenger with good news

Tried to write down tones as words,
It's the messages from the very melodies
that keeps me awake and breathe
Messages of grace, hope, and peace
that knock on my door every morning

I chant gratitude with words,
I chant melodies with words,
on the front page of a new chapter

There,
Chirping birds and singing crickets sound a story
of today, yesterday, or tomorrow and after
As if one day come that of my death,
There are dreams to complete my tomb.
