Pacific Twilight (2017)
Twinkle, twinkle little drops of water in the ocean
Showered in gold, bathed in the sea of silvery sparks
Above an Alaskan ship I whispered to you,
“Do you ever wonder if you’re ever going to coalesce with the clouds again?”
What is home, what is a voyage,
aren’t we all in our own odysseys all this time?
Constantly seeking, permanently aching,
in a search for consolation,
or just comfort in not knowing enough.
You be the eyes and I be the ears
We’ll sail our hearts away and never return
Afar,
Adrift,
Somewhere unheard of in the Pacific.

What is your favorite poet by the way?
Thank you, thank you. You have your own unique way with your poems as well. I wish I could write better sajak and puisi in Indonesian like you do. 🙂
It’s probably Rumi for me! What about you?
