TERBANG TUNDUK

Original Submission by Qistina ‘Aisyah Binti Mohamad Sayuti

TERBANG TUNDUK

Jika ia membuatmu gentar,

Akan ku tutup rapi jendela pengharapanku.

Jika ia membuatmu bimbang,

Akan ku henti langkah pada keakuran.

Jika ia membuatmu sangsi,

Akan ku guris nadi pada pembuktian.

Maka inilah aku yang mengabdikan seluruhnya,

Tidak tersisa walau apapun.

Mengharap pulangmu pada ketidakpastian.

Mengharap tibamu pada keraguan.

Gusti puteri
