both sides now








bows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

but now they only block the sun
they rain and snow on everyone
so many things I would have done
but clouds got in my way

I've looked at clouds from both sides now
from up and down, and still somehow
it's cloud illusions I recall
I really don't know clouds at all

moons and Junes and ferris wheels
the dizzy dancing way you feel
as every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

but now it's just another show
you leave 'em laughing when you go
and if you care, don't let them know
don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
from give and take, and still somehow
it's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all

tears and fears and feeling proud
to say "I love you" right out loud
dreams and schemes and circus crowds
I've looked at life that way

oh but now old friends are acting strange
they shake their heads, they say I've changed
well something's lost but something's gained
in living every day

I've looked at life from both sides now
from win and lose and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

I've looked at life from both sides now
from up and down and still somehow
it's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

sebuah lampion putar
mengisahkan tanganmu
di tangan itu ada sungai
bercabang di jemarimu
jadi cerita-cerita bayangan
tidak pernah usai

aku larut
bersama butiran arus
di sungaimu

selalu.

minggu sore





Semesta selalu punya caranya sendiri untuk mendewasakan kita. Sekalipun sudah menutup diri supaya kedap rasa, tidak terluka, atau sekedar malas jadi dewasa; selalu ada celah untuk merembes masuk, merasuk, mengirim orang-orang istimewa untuk mendesak diri jadi dewasa.

Bertahan atau berkilah adalah percuma. Dia adalah sang Maha. Yang perlu dilakukan yaitu merelakan diri. Biarkan orang-orang itu datang. Biarkan diri mengalami segala rasa. Biarkan semesta membentuk menempa diri. Hidup ada supaya kita mengalami.

Seorang penulis pernah menyatakan bahwa nasib terbaik adalah tidak dilahirkan. Selama ini saya setuju dengan pendapat itu. Tapi tidak untuk saat ini. Mungkin tidak pernah lahir adalah nasib kurang beruntung. Tidak pernah mengalami hidup.

Di kejernihan yang sejenak ini, saya berterimakasih. Atas adanya saya, setiap makhluk, dan semua materi di semesta ini. Atas hidup yang saya punya. Saya siap, saya ingin mengalami.


Di warung kopi sepi. Minggu sore biasa yang tiba-tiba jernih.
