Suffocating Mist


Four walls
Again.
To my left?
Whitewashed pillars
Outside the window
[on my right]
Tall and proud skyscrapers

Nighttime skyscrapers

I walk outside
Again breathing the dusty air
I saw, still,
The same walls
Different colours, perhaps
But still walls of bricks and sand
Staring back at me, emotionless.

I sauntered on
Errands to run
Classes to attend
People to meet

But still
Buildings loom by
The giants stand tall,
Looking down menacingly.

Nonetheless
I pushed my way through
Shutting off the apprehension
Attempting to appreciate the art
Of bricks, stones and pillars
That man are so proud of
The so called mark of civilization

Yet in my heart
I yearn
For fresh air
For green earth

Mt. Kinabalu on clouds... 2008

I long
For the calm and soothing song
Of breeze swirling in the morning
Of birds and insects chirping and whistling
For the smell
Of fresh salty sea air
or the reviving scent of woods and nature

Manukan Island, Sabah 2008

The soothing and peaceful surrounding
Whereby one can really sit down and think
Ponder and recap life's journey
Focus one's self on reasons, and aims
Reflecting the past
And planning for the future

In short,
I crave for Allah's artworks
Nature at its best
This, indeed,
Is works of art better than any other artists, ever.


This entry is not an attempt at a poem. Just trying to express how I currently am feeling. Honestly... it's been a while since I get to appreciate nature. I miss it, very much.
Actually.. the feeling is lurking for a while. But increased due to a few incidents which made me wish i can just push the 'pause' button and escape. Ya Rabb... give us strength to go forward..

Anyway... May Allah bless...

”Selintas camar yang lalu
membawa sarat harapan
nun di puncak awan biru
sana sayapnya meluas membuka
ruang pandangan manusia
agar mengheret dukanya pergi”

" Antara kau dan aku
Blog ini sebagai pengantara
Sebuah persahabatan....
Terima kasih
kembara ziarah maya”

Mulanya penuh sukar
Keyakinan teguh sendirian
Di bangkitkan sama teman - teman
Harungi suatu tujuan

Perjalanan masih jauh
Kemanisan menunggu ayuh
Masih penuh kesukaran
Namun yakin berkumpulan
Membangkitkan semangat tujuan
Mewarnakan kemanisan
Demi kemanusiaan

أحسن شئ كلام رقيق يستخرج من بحر عميق على لسان رجل رفيق

"Sebaik-baik perkara ialah: Perkataan yang lembut, yang dikeluarkan dari lautan yang dalam, daripada seorang yang lemah-lembut"

Assalamualaikum salam sejahtera,
Pemanis kata pembuka bicara;
Dari Blog kami bercerita,
Untuk tatapan sahabat semua.

Bukan kacang sebarang kacang.
Kacang melilit si kayu jati.
Bukan datang sebarang datang.
Datang membawa hajat di hati.
