Original Submission by Qistina ‘Aisyah Binti Mohamad Sayuti

GARIS TAKDIR

Suram ini namamu tidak lagi membuatku berpaling,

Khabarmu tidak menjadi pertanyaan,

Wangimu tidak kucari arah datangnya,

Bahkan hadirmu tidak lagi mendatangkan rasa.

Sepanjang kita,

Percayalah ada sosok ikhlas yang telah aku siakan,

Ada tembok yang telah aku runtuhkan,

Semua agar terbiasa mengikut tarimu.

Tiba saatnya kamu akan mengerti tentang kepergianku,

Barangkali yang ditakdirkan akan tiba di penatku dalam mencari,

Dilangkah terakhirku dalam berhenti,

Atau mungkin di hampir lelahku dalam berdoa.

Gusti puteri
