Jentayu

Di paruhmu kemilauan sinar
Menyepuhi sejuta rasa
Kemulian di hatimu
Bening budi terdampar di jagat raya

Di sayap taufan kau jelajahi
Awan gemawan membawa rindu
Kasihmu menentangi kezaliman
Ketidakadilan

Jentayu
Patah sayap bertongkat paruh
Jentayu
Patah paruh bertongkat siku
Jentayu
Patah siku bertongkat dagu
Jentayu
Patah dagu bertongkat kuku

Pinjamkanlah hatimu
Untuk semua


Pinjamkanlah syahdumu

(usman awang)

this poem is about hope. for me, it's also about a friend whose love for me knew no bounds.
she was the one who drove me home on D-day, fed me, stayed by my side the first 24 hours. she reminded me that God is almighty, for every blow He delivers, there always is a cushion. i did not realise that she was it at that time. how silly.
