Pensil Hidup: Kata yang Melompat

Minggu, 06 Juli 2008

Ada kata berlompatan di gelas capuccino

yang menghangat dari tatapan saat lelah menyengat

perlahan kata-kata kupungut

dengan kelu yang enggan berlalu nanti saat malam menyapa

bersama cakrawala yang jingga biar semua kutata lagi

kata-kata menjadi puisi

Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace;

where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,

grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;

to be understood, as to understand;

to be loved, as to love;

for it is in giving that we receive,

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,

and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
