For our mothers: Hj Cut Ratna Irawati
Like a poem that starts with the word
like a song that starts with a tune
like a dance combining motion and sound
and like life sprinkled with love
like water flowing into an estuary
like oxygen in the air
like a light shining in the eye
like the moon dispelling the darkness
and like a warm embrace
that's the end
in the shimmer of the twilight stanzas
poetry is increasingly tied to meaning
the song is getting more solemn in the recesses of the soul
and vines in dance
tie a heart
with you, mother
we unite with fragrance
in tone and poetry
on the last stanzas
when hugs have to stretch
when the gaze is getting further away, then it becomes a dot
your figure remains strong in the soul
throbbing in the pulse
flowing with blood
stop in the blink of an eye
be a lamp to dispel the darkness
will never go out
now and forever
already told the city we stopped
Countless dances have been created
in the glitter of the art stage
accompanied by beats
there has been eternal sparkle of jewels
this love is timeless
even when we miss
the memories come true
when later we set the motion
We will always remember your face and smile
give room for obstructions
even when motion hits the waves
you smile to drive away thistles
today you have perfected the movement of the tone
you have accepted all the prayers
you have left a trail
but in our hearts
you never go
never go
because our love is never fragile
miss never blister
even though the body will be far away
