(Masih) Sapardi

Salah satu pereda rindu dari Sapardi Djoko Darmono. Bagi para insan yang sedang menunggu..

BUAT NING

pasti datangkah semua yang ditunggu
detik-detik berjajar pada mistar yang panjang
barangkali tanpa salam terlebih dahulu

januari mengeras di tembok itu juga
lalu desember…
musim pun masak sebelum menyala cakrawala
tiba-tiba kita bergegas pada jemputan itu

Sang Juara Metafora

Kumpulan karya besar yang menginspirasi dari seorang Sapadi Djoko Darmono. Saya catut disini agar ia tak mudah terlupa dan catatannya selalu tersimpan.

PADA SUATU HARI NANTI

Pada suatu hari nanti

Jasadku tak akan ada lagi

Tapi dalam bait-bait sajak ini

Kau takkan kurelakan sendiri

Pada suatu hari nanti

Suaraku tak terdengar lagi

Tapi di antara larik-larik sajak ini

Kau akan tetap kusiasati

Pada suatu hari nanti

Impianku pun tak dikenal lagi

Namun di sela-sela huruf sajak ini

Kau takkan letih-letihnya kucari

AKU INGIN

Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana

dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkan

kayu kepada api yang menjadikannya abu

Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana

dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan

awan kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada

HUJAN BULAN JUNI

tak ada yang lebih tabah

dari hujan bulan juni

dirahasiakannya rintik rindunya

kepada pohon berbunga itu

tak ada yang lebih bijak

dari hujan bulan juni

dihapusnya jejak-jejak kakinya

yang ragu-ragu di jalan itu

tak ada yang lebih arif

dari hujan bulan juni

dibiarkannya yang tak terucapkan

diserap akar pohon bunga itu

GADIS KECIL

Ada gadis kecil diseberangkan gerimis

di tangan kanannya bergoyang payung

tangan kirinya mengibaskan tangis

di pinggir padang,ada pohon

dan seekor burung

DALAM BIS

langit di kaca jendela bergoyang

terarah ke mana wajah di kaca jendela

yang dahulu juga

mengecil dalam pesona

sebermula adalah kata

baru perjalanan dari kota ke kota

demikian cepat

kita pun terperanjat

waktu henti ia tiada

This just takes longer than you thought

There are plenty of reasons why we should be grateful for our life. This might sound cliché but if you think deeply, somewhat you'll find it true. 

Since I was a kid, I have been living a great life. I moved from city to other city, made a lot of friends and experienced different things. As I grow up, my expectation of life is getting higher. When I was 12, I told my parents that I wanted to go to the most well-known junior high school (at that time I was in Manado). They were very supporting and encouraging. I got enlisted!. Somehow, I was not satisfied enough that I challenged myself by taking acceleration class. I asked for my parents's approval as the cost was higher, and fortunately they were both agreed. I took the acceleration class which turned out very tiring. The fortunes came continuously as I mostly seated on top 3 ranks, got accepted in a prestigious high school and university.  

One day, I dreamed to see the ancient architectures in Europe, join the international conference, visit some places in other countries that I only see on television and work in multinational company. God must be very kind to me as He made every each of my dreams came true. 

However, the situation is slightly different for me now. It takes longer than it used to be, than I thought, to attempt my goals. Facing the failure is not easy, keeping your mind to be positive is not a simple action. There must be some times that we think it's the hardest, in particular when looking at our friends and people asked you many questions. You may be disappointed and worried, but I think that's human being. I felt those too. That is life, ladies and gentlemen. It has ups and downs. 

Even so, I keep believing that I just have to be more patient in waiting the time. The recipe are being grateful for your past, thinking positive for the future, giving the best effort for now. Because every little thing you've obtained and passed has its own meaning. 

You might fell a lot, but then you just have to bounce higher, like a child on a trampoline. Nothing should be  regretted. 

Today, I read a good quote. It said...

"Don't judge me. I am not ashamed of trying. Every journey has to start somewhere".
