And they become flowers

I made this poem because of our pandemic, coronavirus, year of 2020. I realized that this pandemic costs us everything that we have, even lives of the people that we love. Grieves were perceived globally, across nations. In regards of our massive bereavement, I imagine those that we've lost turn into flowers when they die. That even in their death, they're still our everything, and even in death, they'll still be with us. They're in our hearts. Forever.


And they become flowers


Imagine all lives that we've lost turned into flowers when they die

A flower so beautiful

That even God will smile from above when He sees it

A flower so beautiful

That'll warm even the coldest of heart

A flower so beautiful

That'll calm even the most turbulent of soul

 

I know that we've all lost too much

We've cried too heavy

I know that we've also missed them, so much

 

But what can we do for them?

We can do nothing, actually

The only thing that we can do is to pray for them

We pray for their soul

We pray for their blessed heart

We pray, for the beautiful flowers that they've become

 

That even in death, they're still beautiful

Even in death, they're still very much alive

Even in death, they're still everything to us

Even in death, they're still here,

With us.

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart

The Family Who Read

         I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books.           So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father on motivation-filled books, and my mother stays with her love for fa

Learn to Let Go

Let go; letting go :           “An act of letting go; to free yourselves from self-destructive things. Be it a thought, a person, a feeling and anything of the sorts. To make peace with yourself.”           Letting go of someone or something truly is not an easy task, so easy to say yet extremely difficult to do. I just had a very tough day as me and my friend shouldered something we shouldn’t have. We got caught up in the middle of something so bad, which may affect our future (in a bad way, of course). A “bad luck”, so to say. We’re just some unlucky dude who got involved in some unlucky event, basically just being in the wrong place, at the wrong time. Same old story. And so I got home, bursting my anger to an (also) unlucky friend of mine and sure enough, I ended up regretting what I did later.           As my head start to think more clearly, I can see fear as the main culprit of my raging anger. Fear of my lack of knowledge that will eventually lead to my teacher’s
