Life Starts At 00.00

Life starts at 00.00. When the neighborhood is sleeping and the night walkers are starting to go out. 
Life starts at the time when I eat cereal for snacks instead of drinking bitter coffee that I hate to keep my eyes open in the morning. 
My life starts at the time I turn off my laptop and continue living my daydream. 
Life starts at the time when I finally have time for myself.

Twenty-four

 Today you wake up and you have to start a new life. You get out of bed and start to write down your to-do list. Is it laundry day, or deep cleaning your kitchen? You start to try hot coffee instead of iced americano. Make a full breakfast instead of eating a full bowl of your favorite cereal. You listen to podcasts instead of repeating your favorite boyband's debut album, and you start to live your life instead of daydreaming.  You are now an adult and they want you to stand on your own. You have to make your own decision and you must not rely on others. You might get hurt but you are too old to cry, yet you are too young to face the world on your own.

We stop moving and breathe a little longer.  So, we close our eyes.  We close our eyes and feel more with our skin and ears.  So, when we are ready,  we are ready to start all over.

Aku Ingin Tertidur Pulas di Dekapanmu

Bolehkah aku singgah sebentar? Duduk di antara kaki-kaki yang menjulur dan merebahkan punggungku pada dekapanmu. Aku terlalu lelah untuk bercerita. Jadi, bolehkah jika aku memejamkan mataku dan tertidur pulas di pangkuanmu? Aku ingin mendengar nyanyian-nyanyian alammu. Suara lembutmu yang diminta surga. Ternyata kau benar, dunia ini terlalu muram untuk jiwaku yang penuh harapan-harapan dan doa darimu. Kau sibakkan kabut-kabut yang menghalangi setiap pandanganku. Bukan dengan tanganmu, tapi dengan doa yang kau panjatkan ketika malam belum hilang. Bolehkah aku meminta sesuap nasi dari piringmu? Aku tahu kau akan selalu memberikan porsi terbanyak sedangkan kau hampir mati kelaparan. Apakah aku boleh meminta segelas air dari sumurmu?
