Awan di Atas Kepala


Charles Bridge, Prague, 22 Jan 2021


Ruang kecil di dalam kepalamu itu
Begitu sesak kata-kata
Ceriwis tiada henti
Kaubangun dinding di sekeliling dirimu
Membentengi pikiran yang kauanggap kebenaran

Tapi bukankah pikiran itu seperti awan
Senantiasa berarak tak pernah diam 
Yang tadi tampak seperti unta
Sejenak lagi serupa singa atau kepala kuda
Laksana samudra yang gelisah, 
gerak pikiranmu pun tak sudah-sudah

Maukah kau kuajak sejenak lepaskan cengkeraman 
Lihat saja awan-awan pikiran 
Tanpa bilang ini itu tanpa mengelak tanpa berdebat

Maka kini terbitlah terang di jalanmu
Gelap pun susut menguap, 
Seperti kabut terbakar hangat 
Matahari pagi yang bersahabat



Sungai Moldau, Prague, 22 Jan 2021




That little space in your mind
So crammed full of words
Everlastingly chattering
You build a wall around yourself
Protecting the thoughts you take as truth

But thoughts are like clouds
They are forever changing
What you now see as camel
in an instant turn into a lion or a kite
Like the restless sea, it is constantly moving

Try for a moment to just let go
Observe your clouds of thought
Without judgement without escaping without fear

Only then there will be light in your path
Darkness disappear 
Like mist kissed by the first light 
of the amiable sunshine
