Its been two days, I get fever. Even , today I can not go to college,  not join percentage and not take the exam also, there is no other thing that can ease the burden of illness except one which usually I do. Yes, writing. And usually I'm very fond of poem. I think every poem have a fistful of soul that can convey the message to its own. That's what always made me smile, cry, or just stay quiet to reflect on the meaning of the poem. This time I'm goin to write a poem by Kahlil Gibran. Its totally touching

ANAKMU BUKAN MILIKMU

Anakmu bukan milikmu.
Mereka putra putri sang Hidup yang rindu pada diri sendiri,
Lewat engkau mereka lahir, namun tidak dari engkau,
Mereka ada padamu, tapi bukan hakmu.
Berikan mereka kasih sayangmu, tapi jangan sodorkan bentuk pikiranmu,
Sebab mereka ada alam pikiran tersendiri.
Patut kau berikan rumah untuk raganya,
Tapi tidak untuk jiwanya,
Sebab jiwa mereka adalah penghuni rumah masa depan, yang tiada dapat kau kunjungi meski dalam mimpi.
Kau boleh berusaha menyerupai mereka,
Namun jangan membuat mereka menyerupaimu
Sebab kehidupan tidak pernah berjalan mundur,
Pun tidak tenggelam di masa lampau.
Kaulah busur, dan anak-anakmulah Anak panah yang meluncur.
Sang Pemanah Maha Tahu sasaran bidikan keabadian.
Dia merentangmu dengan kekuasaan-Nya,
Hingga anak panah itu melesat, jauh serta cepat.
Meliuklah dengan suka cita dalam rentangan tangan Sang Pemanah,
Sebab Dia mengasihi anak-anak panah yang melesat laksana kilat
Sebagaimana pula dikasihiNya busur yang mantap.

-Kahlil Gibran_


Sorry, if I could only ask


Today isn't cloudy
But why rain is so heavy
Tonight there are a lot of stars
But why the sky is so dark
Spring has arrived
But the flowers fall are all yours
The song that you turn belongs to nice lyrics
But why did you cry when you were hearing it?
May I ask you why?
Sorry if I could just ask and I dont have any power to make a poetry as you asked
I'm really sorry

A Dream (by; Edgar Allan Poe)


In visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me broken-hearted
Ah! What is not a dream by day
To him whose eyes are cast
On things around him with a ray
Turned back upon the past?
That holy dream –that holy dream,
While all the world were chiding
Hath cheered me as lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding
What though that light, thro’ storm and night,
So trembled from afar-
What could there be more purely bright
In Truth’s day-star?
