How can I write of magnolias, daisies, cherry blossoms
roses, lavenders, tulips
daffodils, camellias and irises
when I still see seas of winter?
I leave no winter mark
on waves of cold emotion
signalling death
of a time
of a place
Naik hantu
a Malay expression when one is sick and tired
of something beyond one's control
Are you mad at God?
Is God at fault
that everything is so confused
day is night
night is day?
Spring is Winter
Winter is Spring?
Do we know who we are
And who HE is?
Is this not time to reflect?
In the words of a sufi
"I searched for God and found only myself. I searched for myself and found only God"
No reason to naik hantu.
