AJARKAN TUHAN BAGAIMANA MENULIS PUISI
-- asuramang
Biar kukisahkan lagi sebuah puisi
dari penyair yang mati ditabrak taksi
".... Tang!"
lantangmu berdentang panjang
kernyit di dahimu pun hilang
diganti siulan dan tepuk tangan orang
"Ada daun jatuh, tulis!"
ajakmu girang pergaulan
pada orang asing, sanak saudara, dan handai taulan
peziarah merah, pelawat berkudung hitam, dan juga rombongan kawan
karena menulis puisi
adalah menulis kehidupan
karena menulis kehidupan
adalah menulis kemenangan
"Tak usahlah terlalu dipusingkan bagaimana menulis puisi"
itu kalimat sekarang berlaku untukmu
karena tak lagi sempat, teman,
karena tak sempat kau menulis baris-baris bunyi
dengan rima dan ketukan fantasi
Kini terbanglah kau! Bahkan lebih cepat
dari concorde mesin perancis yang melesat
Tegak lurus ke hadapan khalikmu,
tuhan yang kau sapa bapak!
Lalu kau ajak Ia menulis puisi,
karena puisimu amatlah indah.
Dan semoga ia turun dalam genderang bertalu
seiring deras hujan di malam minggu.

AS I WALK THROUGH THE MUSIC
As I walk through the music,
I stop.
While others continue on,
I pause to listen.
As I stand in the music,
I listen... inhale...
breathe it in...
I sit in the melody
and let it wash over me.
It envelopes the space,
As I rest in its joy.
As I float in the music
I drift
where it takes me.
I alone stop for the music.
But then realize,
It is always there to hear,
If only I stop...
To listen to the music.
As I pass by the love
It beacons to me,
calling with its sweet song.
May I enter there?
Is it as elusive as it seems?
Or is it always there...
like the music,
to immerse myself...
in the rapture of the love.
If only I stop,
to listen to the music.

"Thank you" is one of those wonderful phrases people use to express a special gratitude...
But there's often a lot more to it than those two words can say...
When it comes from the heart, from deep inside the nicest feelings and the most special thoughts,
"Thank you" means so much...
It means thank you for taking the time to show that you care...
It means "you really made my day," and sometimes it means that you really make all the days so much better...
It means you make me feel so nice, and I wish I could do the same for you...
just by letting you know how much you mean to me...
"Thank you" means you didn't have to... but I'm so grateful that you did...
"Thank you" means that you've done something special that I'll never forget...
Thank You,
