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

Tidaklah sama bagiku juga bagimu

Zay Lawang Langit

Memandang garis cuaca
Musim yang berkejaran dilingkar kehendak
Doa yang terucapkan di pangkal lidah

Saat ranum biji jagung menggantung
Bulir-bulir padi terayun
Berharap hujan terjaga
Agar panen tetap melimpah

Pada sebelah mana kita pernah singgah
Menitipkan beberapa lembar kisah
Juga tentang tragedi bertubi-tubi
Banyak hal telah kita lihat
Meski lebih banyak lagi terlewat

Mengusung abad yang jatuh
Di kaki musim kulihat telapakmu penuh sayatan
Luka itu lembaran kisah lain yang luput ditoreh

Tidaklah sama bagiku juga bagimu
Tapak kaki kita biarlah kelak berkata-kata

Toh pada akhirnya
Kita akan sendirian melangkah pulang bukan?
