it's hard to find the balance when you are in love
you're lost in the middle cause you have to decide between mind & heart
it's hard to find the balance neither when i'm not in love
i'm just lost in the middle cause i have to decide between heart & mind

our world...
i hear a baby crying.. a sad sound, a lonely sound..
i want to take her in my arms and then i’ll dry away all her tears
i see a boy who’s frightened, a young boy with cold eyes
i long to say you’re welcome here, you can be happy now that you’re home
we’re all a part of one world, we all can share the same dream
and if you just reach out to me then you will find deep down inside
i’m just like you..
loud voices raised in anger, speak harsh words, such cruel words
why do they speak so selfishly when we have got so much we can share
i want to take her in my arms and then i’ll dry away all her tears
i see a boy who’s frightened, a young boy with cold eyes
i long to say you’re welcome here, you can be happy now that you’re home
we’re all a part of one world, we all can share the same dream
and if you just reach out to me then you will find deep down inside
i’m just like you..
loud voices raised in anger, speak harsh words, such cruel words
why do they speak so selfishly when we have got so much we can share

someday
for my little 'big' brother Willy, this song if for you..
we share our prayer that life will be fairer to us (altho each day is a gift from God)
someday.. when we are wiser.. when the world's older.. when we have learned..
i pray.. someday we may yet live.. to live and let live..
someday.. life will be fairer.. need will be rarer.. and greed will not pay..
God speed.. this bright millennium.. on its way.. let it come.. someday..
someday.. our fight will be won then.. we'll stand in the sun then.. that bright afternoon..
'till then.. on days when the sun is gone.. we'll hang on.. if we wish upon the moon..
there are some days dark and bitter, seems we haven't got a prayer,
but a prayer for something better, is the one thing we all share..

langitku
aku terbangun karena bale tempat tidurku berguncang, aku sudah terbiasa.
pagi sudah menjelang, matahari belum muncul dari peraduannya.
bunyi KRL yang menderu-deru selalu membangkunkanku pada jam yang sama.
memang tak jauh dari petakan tempat aku tinggal, ada stasiun kereta singgahan.
setelah antri dan mandi di MCK tempat aku dan teman-teman biasa berbagi,
kami pun bermain-main di depan petakan rumah kami, tapi langit begitu teduh.
stasiun yang di sana sudah ramai dengan keriuhan penumpang yang campur baur.
hari sudah bergulir, matahari kan sudah terbit dari sejak kami mandi tadi.
aku menengadah ke belakangku, mencoba menatap langit dari tempatku berpijak.
ternyata yang kulihat bukan langit, tapi gedung tinggi yang menjulang,
walau jauh, tapi tinggi dan sinar matahari pagiku terhalang olehnya,
tempat tinggal mahal bagi orang-orang yang katanya lebih kaya dari keluargaku.

pilgrim (traveller)
pilgrim, how you journey on the road you chose, to find out why the winds die and where the stories go
all days come from one day that much you must know, you cannot change what's over but only where you go
one way leads to diamonds, one way leads to gold, another leads you only to everything you're told
in your heart you wonder which of these is true, the road that leads to nowhere, the road that leads to you
will you find the answer in all you say and do? will you find the answer in you?
each heart is a pilgrim, each one wants to know, the reason why the winds die and where the stories go
pilgrim, in your journey you may travel far, for pilgrim, it's a long way to find out who you are
pilgrim, it's a long way to find out who you are.. pilgrim, it's a long way to find out who you are..
(lyric from Pilgrim by Enya on A Day Without Rain album)

the end - II
last night was the time that my solitaire game is over as result that i find a dead end and there's no other move that can be done to continue this game. instead of starting a new game right away, i choose to silent, to review all the moves i've make. there's some mistakes that can be undone anymore i guess. well, this game is quite like life its own, only travel forward, but can be undone sometimes while life doesn't can be undone even for a few minutes back. once i make a wrong move, which lead me to another possibility, that's the way i must take for the rest of life. now i make another mistake by pushing you too hard, asking about how i wish that we can be together for once again, i'm asking for another chance and possibility. i guess, somehow i'm making your feeling even worse about me. and when you say that you would take another move by making a distance between us to make its easier for me to letting you go, forgetting about wishing for another chance and carry on. and for you, so you can carry on your life without burdened with my feeling about you anymore. i just make my silent; my heart and mind are fighting about how right this way is for me. maybe by this distance we have, i'll forget about my feeling to you and carry on to another one. it's just a maybe, because still deep inside

the end
continued from game of solitaire
time, there was a time, you could talk to me without speaking
you would look at me and i'd know all there was to know
days i think of you and remember the lies we told in the night
the love we knew, the things we shared when our hearts were beating together..
days that were so few full of love and you
gone, the days are gone now, days that seem so wrong now
life won't be the same without you to hold again in my arms to ease the pain
and remember when our love was a reason for living
days that were so few full of love and you.. the game is over..
(lyric from The Game Is Over by John Denver)

fated
those tiny flowers of yellowish white bloom with its petals and leaves colorized the ground.
where did it come from? why did its grown solitaire in this land?
the stems are fragile and soft drifted by the dessert wind.
but they are fighting, struggle to life. why?
did they know that people are ignored them?
in this other side of land, where land isn't as friendly as they look to be,
while people crush them by their footsteps, they still bloom.
fated to born from a tiny seed, they are smiling to this world.
day is passing by, the flowers change to fruits.
now there are many more seeds to give away.
a seed to start a new life, a new struggle to survive, but they survive!
why not me?

cinta = air
"seperti rusa rindu sungaiMu.. jiwaku rindu Engkau..."
rusa adalah salah satu jenis hewan yang selalu diasosiasikan dengan sumber air tawar, karena rusa merupakan hewan yang hidup berkelompok dalam jumlah yang kecil tidak jauh dari mata air. mereka akan selalu mencari mata air yang ada apabila kelompoknya bermigrasi dari tempat ke tempat yang lain.
dalam sepenggal lirik di atas, rusa merindukan sumber air seperti seorang manusia yang rindu akan hadirat Tuhan dalam hidupnya. karena itulah rusa diperlambangkan seperti diatas karena pada dasarnya manusia tidak akan dapat terpisah dari Tuhan sebagai pencipta yang Maha Kuasa, sama seperti rusa yang tidak terpisahkan dari mata air.
seperti halnya cinta, sebuah kata yang masih menjadi tanda tanya bagi banyak orang termasuk aku. ini menjadi salah satu inspirasi dalam hidupku selama ini. cinta dalam banyak literatur menggambarkan hal yang indah atau
