#753 Tentang Gemuruh Ombak

Dalam gemuruh ombak itu
Ada desiran tawa gembira
Ada laungan jiwa yang meronta
Ada ngauman hati yang mendamba
Memanggil engkau yang terlalu jauh di mata

Pulanglah
Pulanglah ke pangkuan hamba
Yang merindu merayu memuja.

#748 On Seeing You

I see you there
All bundled up in bed
Tubes snaking over blanket and pillow

And I hear you breathing
Soft and shallow: peaceful
Blissful amidst the raging fires within

And all I can think of is:
Here, in You, is my whole Life
In all its magnificence
And aching fragility.

#746 On Each New Day

No crystal ball to peer into the mist
No sight beyond the Now that just arrived
And Happiness requires us hence to trust
That Life is made of moments truly lived
Each day anew is one more gift divine
To live with hearts wide open and benign.
