Sanctuary

Ahmad Nur Sidik 2004 (Tangerang)



As white as the frozen coating
As majestic as the cloud floating
A paper containing all memory
Sweet and sour of the story

Within the ink it carves
Matress of green, its grass waving
Forest with tall trees of otherworldly height
All within a noble light

In the meadow soon bloom flowers
Red petals, white innocence, and yellow vibrancy
All take turns with their own patterns
Turning the plain green a big bouquette
Fluffy and watery, the scent soars the sky

In the forest birds chirp and crickets sing
Echoing along the soft breeze of wind
Slipping through branches and leaves even logs
Shaking nature's maracas, blowing its flutes

All hearts brought to joy
A peaceful solace in the sanctuary

Breathe in, feel the air
Spread your hands, let the wind flow
Open your ears, listen to the orchestra
Close your eyes, be in peace
