There's nothing else I'm looking for here
Except feel the moonlight
The cold by longing
Seventy disasters
Leading to us
How to refuse
Every day he walks
That way too
Every day he walks
Body slightly bent
Step one
On that road too
Lord
I need the sun
The light that you spread
For the universe
But I need too
Lover's eyes
The rays of the eyes that scrape the sin
And replace it
With charity and faith
Lamprik, August 9, 1986
Looking for Traces
That night
I
Like being thrown
In your city
O
When later
you go
Picking flowers
And dance
Along the highway
Throw me in the sand
What I still remember about you
Are historical carvings in stone
In silent strokes
What I feel with longing
Ujung Bate, August 8, 1986
Notes On Leaves
You note on the leaves
A message
When the sky was blue
cloudless
After you leave
Far
I read your message
Then I save
Far
Inside of me
Now that message
Flowing in my blood
And when I die
I keep it in silent poetry
With Fiery Loyalty
Let the long journey still
And the body droops limp
But the true desire in the heart
Stay lively on purpose
Cambodia in the park
Shade the body of convulsions and cold
Lying still at birth
Inwardly continue the journey
It's really far away
By many thistles at the bottom of the road
But relay sick and happy
On the streets He decides
Step then means step up
With growing faithfulness to You, Lord
Moon forehead

There's nothing else I'm looking for here
Except feel the moonlight
The cold by longing
There's nothing else I'm looking for here
Except for hearing the wind
In the lake water
Except for hearing the wind
In the lake water
There's nothing else I'm looking for here
Except looking at old graves
My ancestor's resting place
Except looking at old graves
My ancestor's resting place
There's nothing else I'm looking for here
Except watching the dew fall
Washing the faces of my people
Except watching the dew fall
Washing the faces of my people
There's nothing else I'm looking for here
Except feel the echo of prayer
From people who suffer
Prayers that soar to the sky
Unite with the clouds
Unite with the sun
Then come down to earth
Come to your house
Greet you
Enter your heart
Talk about justice
Except feel the echo of prayer
From people who suffer
Prayers that soar to the sky
Unite with the clouds
Unite with the sun
Then come down to earth
Come to your house
Greet you
Enter your heart
Talk about justice
There's nothing else I'm looking for here

Except the former childhood
The dust covered
No more
Except the former childhood

There's nothing else I'm looking for here
Except looking at the shadows of history
Slowly sinking

Let's give charity
Charity rejects disaster

An Old Man Walks
Every day he walks
That way too
Every day he walks
Body slightly bent
Step one
On that road too
There is twilight
Disguising the way
But there are stars
Rise to help him
All he didn't ask for
But just go down
On that road too
Disguising the way
But there are stars
Rise to help him
All he didn't ask for
But just go down
On that road too
There's a hot sun
Dripping his sweat
But there is wind
Blow her body
Just come
Everything just goes down
On that road too
Dripping his sweat
But there is wind
Blow her body
Just come
Everything just goes down
On that road too
Every day he walks
On that road too
Under that sky too
Trees, leaves
Electric poles, asphalt road
So friendly to him
Sometimes it's like reprimanding him
Good morning
Or good afternoon
Or good night
On that road too
Under that sky too
Trees, leaves
Electric poles, asphalt road
So friendly to him
Sometimes it's like reprimanding him
Good morning
Or good afternoon
Or good night
That old man
Step and step
On that road too
Every step
He said Allah

Looking for Traces
That night
I
Like being thrown
In your city
I really don't have anything
And looking for no one
Windows and doors
It's closed for me
And looking for no one
Windows and doors
It's closed for me
Wind freely
Break my body
On the storefronts
And got on the street
Break my body
On the storefronts
And got on the street
But my dreams flow
With silence
Looking for your trace
Until the morning

O
When later
you go
Picking flowers
And dance
Along the highway
Throw me in the sand
I will live in the sand
I will live in the sand
I will sleep in the sand
I will quote your song in the sand
I will feel your love in the sand
I will live in the sand
I will sleep in the sand
I will quote your song in the sand
I will feel your love in the sand
In the sand
Our longing will continue to flow

Moon forehead
Like shiny silver
Shine by the light of faith
The one that always sticks
on the prayer mat
Shine by the light of faith
The one that always sticks

Moon forehead
Like shiny silver
Come closer
To the wandering wind
The sad one
Who is looking for
And wander
In the wilds of the world
Like shiny silver
Come closer
To the wandering wind
The sad one
Who is looking for
And wander
In the wilds of the world
Come closer

Travel wind
Want to kiss her
To let go of worry
