#791 Tentang Bebuihan di Lautan

Dan nikmat mana lagi yang mau engkau dustakan
Sedangkan kita semua persis debu hina di jalanan
Tak mampu meragut walau sekelumit makna
Tapi megah membongkak mendabik mendunia
Apa engkau masih belum dan enggan sedar?
Tanpa Dia, kita hanya buih-buih di lautan terhampar!

#789 Tentang Menyingkap Jejak Langkahmu

Mencari bayangmu
Di sebalik bilah dedaunan
Yang mengembunkan kerinduan
Terlalu dalam: menghiris kepiluan
Dan hati ini terlalu menginginkan
Kau kembali disampingku
Menghitung bilah masa yang berlari laju
Terlalu laju, tiada dapat aku kejar
Dari jauh, jejak langkahmu kusingkap
Dan aku masih terpenjara terperangkap.

#788 On Their Apoplexy

Apoplectic, they basked in their fury
Bereft of sense and conscience, and
Cursed with the certainty of ignorant fools
Demanding silence and acquiescence, and
Expectorating their vile hypocrisy, in
Furtherance of base intents and fomentations
Give them their due disrespect!
Hell is rife with righteous foul infect.

#787 On Kati’s Dreaming

She lies content on the green sofa
Her soft breathing barely audible
Against the piano music that fills the room
A quiet respite from a torrid existence
Of fast cars and strangers and concrete flooring

What are you dreaming of, Kati?
Another bite of kibble, or the hope of domestic welcome?

#783 On Impostor Syndrome

Impostors try, but self-deceivers know
While hearts may quake in dread of others’ eyes
The inner Truth they cannot overthrow:
Brave hearts can break the cage of muted guise
Permit yourself the courage of your worth
Stand tall amidst th’expanse of God’s great Earth.
