((she-self))

She gasped.
In every word she heard. Every pray which vanished into her ears.
calming her versatile heart, giving her delightfully warmth.
She realized.
She has been given by Gabriel a revelation to be revealed.

[ Musholla Al-Fitrah, Sagan, Yogyakarta. ]

All she knew is she was bestowed by a power of wander.
Neither her beloved,
Nor her family,
Nor herself,
could predict what kind of pathway that she will face.
or knowing what kind of stuff that she should prepare.
But she keeps going; through every way she found.
She already knew she has to complete the journey because she now a wanderer.

[ Tempat Lokakarya Perak, somewhere in Kotagede, Yogyakarta ]

she loved to spend her time walking without any purpose.
she walks solemnly because she wants to find the meaning of walk itself.
she scared, yet ebullience, lonely within, so full without.

[ Etalase Buah, somewhere in Kotagede, Yogyakarta. ]

another soul-self

an old man, eyes in despair
and a tired bike, sits as if solitaire,
long long ago, there was a big, old, shabby road
but now it's evanescing into memory untold.

[ Perempatan Pasar Kotagede, Kotagede, Yogyakarta. ]

(not) an ingenue teenage girl, drifting to the town

                             not) a sudden beauty appear, but a lilt enchanting spark shown.

                            p.s: thank you for letting me borrow your camera & also take me to here.

[ Toko Tua, Somewhere near Pasar Kotagede, Yogyakarta ]

And after all
after time flies,
million truth turning to lies,
dust leaving as thousand scars,
and century dead passing many wars,
she keeps her head high.
she profoundly sure there will be her hero at the tip of the road.

[ Jalan Pemandian Raja Kotagede, Kotagede, Yogyakarta ]

here comes the purpose,
rejoinder which makes rejoice.
a sanctuary; as well as shelter,
I've found my house,
I've made my choice.

[ Makam Raja-Raja Mataram, Kotagede, Yogyakarta ]
