Phrase # 1 Poem by Niken Kusuma Wardani

Remember when I show you the moon
It was to see how far the dream is
It was to realize how visible the future is
More than I can grab in my limited destiny,
You went to pursue the sky…
Have the earth echoing my pain to you
The wind cuddled my mind
I packed all my shuttered dream in the night
Should I burn it all in the sweet ray of the sun
Yet the cloud tell me where you are

Once you told me about the pearl
You found in the Pandora box
It was a rare experience, befall on us
Little did we know, the spell unleash
Unbind all the missing scenes
Regain back all the trophy of vanity
Which shouldn’t be found or posses
Had you say sorry for your former plan
Dismantled all the silver rope on yr heart
When the rain wash away the tears

It’s the beauty image in the broken mirror
Which I held to death
Reveal all the untamed path of every heart
The lost part in unity
Mincing the colour of every written scars
Framed it in a fine-grave of the soul
Wrapped all the longing feeling in the bare tree
The footstep mark leave an inch of hope
The shore sail it away to the sea
Neither one can trace it or come with the answer

Someday you’ll be back
With the sight of sorrow in your tired eyes
The pearl had cursed the spirit into stone
Craving for dewdropp to ease your wound
A step ahead, another story re-play
Guide you with saddest mental picture
Your sincere apology will turn to ashes
Captured in eternity the story of great despair
Drawing when you eagerly fly back to the moon
Had you forget the way I show you
