We'll survive..

Pagi datang membawa berita gelap.
Padahal malam baru saja berakhir..
Sebenarnya bukan kali pertama dia hadir seperti ini.
Hanya saja, kembali dan kembali lagi adanya.

Seperti hujan, hati menangis.
Meskipun dada sesak terbakar amarah.
Kecewa sekaligus pasrah.
Membenci air mata yang tak juga bisa memadamkannya.

Cuma kalian yang jadi kekuatan mama.
Pesan terakhirnya menutup berita.
We'll survive, mommy..
Aku akhiri dengan berkaca-kaca..

PS:
Mom, I know we can make it.
We, boys will stand by your side..

A New Beginning

A good friend of mine introduced me to her blog, a couple of days ago. She is just starting. "Our Little Family", so it says. It was about -well, mostly- her newly built family, since she & her husband are expecting a baby anytime soon.

But this is not about that. The reason why I'm writing this post is because somehow she struck me by the fact that she started what she's doing right now, was merely just by depending on her will, and to actually try doing it. All that made me realize that I have given up something that used to be my passion: writing. I forgot where I kept my posts. I don't even remember when the last time I wrote something. I only remember the reason why I quit. And that book should be closed long ago, then be replaced by a new one. I guess this is more like a revelation for the inner me. That I have to get up and continue what I started at the first place.

So here I am. Starting fresh yet nervous. Trying to gather all my muses back, and getting used to it. Embracing a new chapter of my story, then letting it carry me away through each and every bump, under the weather, and over this dazzling life's excitement.
