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

Walaupun... ungkaplah lafal cinta

walau keriput jemarimu melukai rasa
dan telapak jemarimu tak lagi nikmat
pun kudekapi hingga akhir masa

demi langit yang sesekali malam
insafkan ada apa dengan bintang mendatangi kalam
menembusi gelap menerangi malam

ruh-ruh-nya bersemayam pada setiap jiwa
untuk menjaga amalan iman haqul yakin pun kafaru
agar dimengerti dari apa diri terjadi

ketika terkoyak selubung selaput cinta
walaupun tiada sadar terselip sebersit cinta
yang simpan diam dihujung penghabisan

maka, demi sinar yang menerokai kalam
wahai diri yang berandai gumul syumul
yang tlah memfahamkan diri dari apa terjadi

ketika air-air suci t'lah terpancar
melalui oasis sungsum tulang-tulang belulang
hanya kuasaNya yang akan mengembalikanmu

pada rahasia diam yang tak lagi tertahankan
bersabar membiarkan luasan nafas memberi tempo
menumbuhkan kekuatan diantara yang haq dan yang bathil


katakanlah kata itu karena bukan sekedar sendau cinta yang menipu
walau berat tersendat dalam sendu ungkapkanlah setulusnya
lafal cinta hanya padaNya: "la illahailallah..., ..."
