“ku susuri lembah nurani namun tak kudapat apa
di taman jiwa ku duduk dan bertanya pada asa yang resah”

Angel, our friend is amazing. The quote above is from her latest poem on her blog. It’s always interesting to read poem from people you know. Because then you have another way to understanding or experiencing the magic. The particular passage above expands or illuminates the territory of the inner soul. I also see it as a painter painting the landscape of the heart, it’s vast and seemingly endless. Before all this I only know her as a sweet multi-talented girl that is occasionally strange. But little that I know she is also a psycho (in a “Van Gogh”tian’s style) when writing a poem. The photo above is from a photo I took today of the mountains of Kalimantan on my way from Banjarmasin to Balikpapan. I think if feelings have eyes, the quoted passage above will look something like that photo. The rest of the poem is even more overwhelming.
