Children

(Kahlil Gibran)

Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you yet they belong not to you
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts
You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
Which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams
You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday
You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth
The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite,
And He bends you with His might that His arrows may go swift and far
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
For even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves also The bow that is stable

Lalu sebuah tempat

Zay Lawang Langit

Sesekali aku melewatinya, mungkin juga kau sebuah tempat
Tak menyisakan apapun kecuali dekap hangat, pohon angsana kini menjelma tugu

Kota terus beranjak bangkit matahari merayapi sepatu
Kita pernah menjelajahi hampir tiap sudutnya
Pada setiap akhir pekan selepas senja terengkuh malam

Lalu sebuah tempat, seperti setiap ingat berkelebat
Menyeret tepian jam berdetak di ulu hati
Suara-suara surut, larut di dering sunyi
Malam makin sesak, rinduku beranak pinak !
