I wish

"I dig my toes into the sand
The Ocean looks like a thousand diamonds
Strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind
Pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment I am happy happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here

The worlds' a roller coaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air saying

I wish you were here
I wish you were

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Wish you were here"

Al Khalis

lentur buluh dari rebungnya,

Agar tertanam resmi padi;

Kasih ibu bawa ke syurga,

Kasih ayah kekal abadi.

"dan ia tidak pernah merasa, sebab derita itu adalah dia."

Mata Ayah

"Kujabat mesra tangan ayah
urat-urat daging-daging tua keras terasa
mataku tersenyum, matanya menyapa
anak yang pulang disambut mesra.

Tapi matanya, mata yang menatapku
kolam-kolam derita dan pudar bulan pagi
garis-garis putih lesu melingkungi hitam-suram
suatu kelesuan yang tak pernah dipancharkan dulu.

Kelibat senyum matanya masih jua ramah
akan menutup padaku kelesuan hidup sendiri
bagai dalam suratnya dengan kata-kata riang
memintaku pulang menikmati beras baru.

Anak yang pulang disisi ayahnya, maka akulah
merasakan kepedihan yang terchermin dimata
meski kain pelekatnya bersih dalam kesegaran wudhu'
dan ia tidak pernah merasa, sebab derita itu adalah dia."

Selagi berada di bumi tuhan,
syukur selalu kembali bertemu.

Sebuah penghormatan untuk lagu Berada
oleh Aman RA ft. Altimet & Noh Salleh

Ketupat dianyam saling menyatu,
Sebagai tanda suci lebaran;
Bersyukur kita pada Yang Satu,
Syawal dirai penuh keriangan.
