Maria Sudibyo Poems

kapankah waktu yang tepat itu?
apakah bila kita secepat kilat
atau sewaktu berhitung cermat
kapankah waktu yang tepat itu?
...

I know the spring is coming
Not from the warmth I feel
But from the green that lives again
I know great people
...

Over the trees and hill, I wake up alone
I call the name in every wind
When nobody to find, the sound of bird’s crying
Inside the evening glow, I stare at sea of stars
...

Don't be afraid to miss something
Don't be afraid to be left behind
Don't be afraid to fail
Maybe it is not your time
...

Mungkin dulu kita pernah berpapasan muka
Dan sekarang kita kembali berhadapan
Mungkin dulu kita pernah berjalan beriringan
Namun sekarang kita tak lagi bertegur sapa
...

When feeling is unrequited
The shortest way is give up soon and find the new one
But if you can’t give up
Aware that it will hurt you and keep trying
...
