Fireflies
I see you fly easily
Flap your little wings
The body is lightened, so that
Those little wings can lift you up
Amazed.
You emit light
Beautiful light when you fly
I was stunned to see it
Little light like hope
Always a speck of hope
Want to shine
Behind the small light
There is your great struggle
Through all threats
So that you can always emit a beautiful little light.

Waktu
Bisakah diri ini merutuki waktu
Waktu seakan-akan memihak
Rasanya ingin mengatur waktu
Tetapi mustahil
Aku sadar akan hal itu
Kilatan ingatan selalu mengitari pikiranku
Disetiap harinya
Tapi aku menikmatinya
Menikmati air mata
Air mata yang membasahi kedua pipiku
Hujaman kenangan itu membuat diri ini lemah
Sangat lemah
Tetapi ketika kilatan ingatan waktu itu
Memutar wajah tentram yang tersenyum simpul nan damai
Dalam keadaan terpejam, dan aku tidak dapat lagi...
Melihat netra hitam pekat itu untuk selamanya
Dari saat itu aku tersadar
Waktu tidak dapat diulang
Namun selalu menuntun diri ini
Berjalan dengan kokoh
Bagai waktu yang selalu berjalan dan tidak pernah goyah.
